Our government allowed the illegal children to go public schools and graduate with American high school diplomas. These kids have been handed a raw deal. They aren't citizens of ANY country. Let's see: Speaks english? Check. Has an American diploma? Check. Has lived in the US since they were under the age of 18? Check. They are Americans! They deserve to go to college and get jobs in the US because they've lived here all their lives. Don't like it? Blame the government, but stop punishing innocent people. 2009-06-03T13:38:06Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-06-03:/comment/108813 exodos3410 do you not understand???? these children are innocent! they did not choose to be here! they were brought here by their parents! they are not the CRIMINALS!!! what you are implying, ronodie, is that if your father kills someone, and goes to jail, that you, their child, would be punished for his crime? these children are not CRIMINALS! they are MINORS who have worked hard in the difficult situation that they have been forced into. open your mind and understand that if you are under 21, you cannot file legally, your parents must do it for you and if your parents do it for you, it can take from 10-12 years. do some research and use your mind instead of posting uninformed, immature comments. 2009-04-04T20:22:58Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-04:/comment/100859 SnowingAmanda Wow, you say it like if those students will be allowed to have tuition you will be denied this opportunity. If not, than it has nothing to do with them being placed "before you". And don't worry about your tax dollars, you'd be surprised how many of them do pay taxes, with a tax ID for example when they can't get SS card. This way they don't get any benefits like tax returns, etc., but they still pay it:P I know such people personally, and i wish you'd met some of them too before you say harsh words without knowing the situation. 2009-09-26T15:31:44Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-09-26:/comment/130968 jimenezc Of course they are paying income taxes (the vast majority). They pay taxes just like you and I do out of our paychecks, in addition to medicare and social security money that they might never be able to take advantage of, and they don't get their tax return check at the end of the fiscal year. They can't claim their children as dependents and get a fatter check, they can't get a tax credit for donated items or fixing up their house and can't get any of the stimulus money that you think they are. They actually pay more taxes than you and I do, proportionately. They wouldn't pay property taxes if they are renting, the same way you wouldn't pay property taxes if you were renting. Please don't comment until you have your facts straight. I would be happy to share my beautiful country with anyone willing to work as hard as I do and appreciate it as much as I do. 2010-03-26T13:32:45Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-26:/comment/190791 kombatandfw In Texas they do.

Who do you think the employer is going to hire? The citizen with a highed education, UNLESS the second person is more qualified for the job with more experience. Nobody loses a job in general. Their just surpassed by the better person. Better being used lightly 2009-04-14T13:13:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-14:/comment/102513 GROM My girlfriend, 24, Mexican, came to the US 19 years ago. She has a BBA in Marketing, and still can't work. US is all she knows, and feels American. Now, how about send some unemployed Americans to Mexico, and give citizenship or residential status to those immigrants who want to work, and actually be part of the US. 2010-01-29T18:22:22Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-29:/comment/182867 Student2010 I personally believe that if a student works hard enough to get through High School and go to a College or University, they are obviously a productive and valuable member of our society. We need to give these, my own peers, a chance to go to College and plan their future with a clear map. PASS THE DREAM ACT! 2009-10-21T08:21:05Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-21:/comment/147510 mazdastuff Everyone has their opinion on this one. And someone can probably give me 15 reasons why we should allow Amnesty and I will give 15 against. But how about this...Nationwide vote and everyone must vote. (voters must be legal residents)...all topics concerning people in this country illegally. And you can bundle up a few at a time if you wish. Amnesty, benefits, education etc. The purpose of the vote...if you vote pro amnesty your taxes will be a flat 60%. What happen. Did I lose you on this one. You want to help them, you pay for them. And if you say that is not fair...then you are a hypocrite. I will be more inclined to support a gradual transition versus the free for all that our government wants. Better yet. Start helping Mexico by building some schools and improve their infrastructure. Come on, they have some of the best beaches, national resources and still, their population lives in poverty. The problem is down there, not up here. 2009-09-24T20:40:28Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-09-24:/comment/130157 marisol94 can someone give me reasons of why this bill shouldnt be passed? if you believe that illegal immigrants will take the jobs and opportunities u.s citizens....well then i can tell you right away that it is not true, because in life you have to be prepared in order to get somewhere. If the illegals would "take away" the jobs as you may say well then all i have to say is that there is a reason for that 2009-09-20T07:26:38Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-09-20:/comment/128091 dblbull4me Why should I be paying for edu. of illegal immigrants. My own kids could not get higher Edu. because I paying high taxes to pay for stupid bills like this. I could not afford to pay for my own kids. how about the Government start paying attention to the constitution and stop this invasion of the U.S. .My great great grandparents came here legally and learned to speak english and changed there name to be more english .Fought in the Revolution,civil war (north) and all other wars for the freedoms of America. How about taking care of the citizens that work and pay taxes first 2009-09-10T00:11:06Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-09-10:/comment/124110 MyGunsProtectMyFreeSpeechandMe My that is a lovely straw man fallacy you have constucted. >> maybe you didn't know any better Ignorance of the law is no excuse. >> with a language you can't speak That is Poor Prior Planning. >> and just... stay there That would likely be as illegal there as IT IS ILLEGAL HERE. >> intolerance One ought NEVER tolerate evil acts (like FELONY INVASION of America). >> bigotry It is neither irrationality nor hatred that propels the argument against giving citizen's resources to FELONY INVADERS. >> fascism Enforcing the righteous laws of the land, justice, is NOT synonymous with fascism.
