Obama Speaking at ASU

Before Obama speaks, they are honoring a couple of graduates who did exceptionally well. One of the graduates was a kid names Oscar who coudn't take advantage of many scholarships he got because of an immigration technicality( dream act?). They went on to talk about how he had to hang sheetrock and the hardships he went through because of his immigration status to put himself through college. I was glad they honored this kid because Obama was sitting right there and heard everything. Hope he mentions the dream act in his speech.:D

Quote:

President Obama won’t have to go far to see some of the undocumented students graduating from ASU. They’ll be sitting across from him in the audience. Among them will be Dulce, 24, who asked that her last name be withheld due to her immigration status. She, like many of her classmates, expects to hear Obama mention the DREAM Act, which would allow for the legalization of undocumented students under certain conditions.
It will be a bittersweet graduation for the student who will receive a degree in electrical engineering without being able to join the Arizona workforce because she doesn’t have proper documentation. “If he looked, the president would see how many bright people are going just to waste. He’ll be disappointed to see lawyers, architects and engineers all going to waste. If they don’t get their citizenship, you’re throwing it all away.”

I hope to hear Obama say that he will commit to giving the Dream Act a vote on the senate floor before year's end.

No really, lol! Committing in the sense that Obama will use his influence and to ask Reid to schedule a vote, the legislative process is not up to the president but congress follows suit in his priorities.
