For me its a black and white issue. The emotional and civil rights arguments are obvious but obviously ignored by the opposition as they only see one thing, 'Illegal'.

So we're invested in education for so long yet when it comes time to rip the fruits of it it's denied. It's bad business practice from the U.S. so not legalizing DREAMies prevents the US from getting their due return on investment, its illogical to do this in any corporation and the US is just one big corporation. Kicking every one out really does not serve any purpose at all as the US will not only lose money by the work needed but also will lose on their return on investment.

When it comes to DREAMies the opposition only has one argument and its not even an argument, they hide behind one word "Illegal". Taking all the social issues aside and just looking at it from the dollar signs its retarded why anyone would oppose but when you base your whole state of mind on semantics you really have no hope of seeing what is really being missed out on.


So as far as trying to convince the opposition why DREAM is good thats hopeless as they are the lowest denominator hiding behind one word. They will ignore all social justice arguments immediately and their only response to the economic benefits of DREAM is the word 'Illegal'. Our only hope is that Senators/Reps are smarter than that so we must cater to changing their mind.
