If somebody asked me about my opinion on immigration and our current system dealing with it, I would say that we are doing a great job; a great job in doing it wrong. We are doing it so wrong that we have a great amount of young students today who say they didn’t know about the immigration laws of the United States when they were kids and innocently let their parents bring them to a new country.Sure, sure, like I am going to believe that. It is obvious they knew we have the Disney Channel here and didn’t care about the rest.
What type of children in their right mind would forget to read “How to Legally Immigrate to the United States When You Can’t Talk Yet or When Your Opinion Doesn’t Count?”
Now what I don’t understand is why these illegal kids think they’re Americans only because they don’t remember their native countries? Seriously, what part of if you look non-American there is a big chance that you’re not American don’t they understand?
Now last but not least, I understand that some of these kids know they are illegal, which means they shouldn’t be here. Why are they then not leaving their families and going back to their countries? What type of kids are these?
It scares me to see a group of children like these being so irresponsible as to excel in high school and try to infiltrate our higher education system. This is obviously a conspiracy that needs to be stopped now. We cannot allow these bright minds to become educated, become entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, or other professionals. What would happen to all the H1b visa applications for many of these exact positions that we can’t fill? They might be taken by these undocumented students who love the United States and even dare to call it home.
Also there is this non-sense legislation, the “DREAM Act”, which would allow us all to benefit from these talented and determined students. It would allow a path to citizenship to these children, these rebels who let their parents bring them to the United States.
This country was made of immigrants. We need to welcome these students and benefit from their contributions. The DREAM Act is a win/win proposition for all students who work hard. With no current way to legalize themselves, this legislation would pave the way to citizenship for over 1.2 million young people brought here by their parents and give them a voice in the future of our country. I am one of these undocumented college graduates working hard to get the DREAM Act passed.
