I read all you posted. We didn't force any vote into anyone, we simply lobbied for the law, the way that many have done so before us. The education in this country is not what it used to be, and you can go bash the people that come with student visas and skilled labor visas; they come here legally from Pakistan and India in drones of 50k and get the jobs. Don't blame me that I've been here since 5.
Take your frustrations somewhere else. The colleges are a business, and the job market seeks for talent, if they don't find it; they will go overseas. Here you got people complaining that no foreign language should be learned in schools, while the rest of the world makes it mandatory to know 3 languages to compete.
Your frustrations are legit, but I am sure you are the same crowd thats also looking to bash the legal entry. This whole thing about coming legally would still not change the fact that your child will still have to compete both in school and in the workforce.
When visas are granted, no1 pays attention to if your child registered already or not. Schools want money, thats why the college presidents supported this act; not out of sympathy.
And as far as the military option, under the Dream Act we would have gotten a special visa class; you can join the military if you are on a certain visa, its possible. People use it to speed up their naturalization process.
When I go to school, I have to compete with all the students there. The guy that just came from Russia legally a month ago gets the top grade. But the American student wants to listen to the iPod and skip class just because mommy or financial aid pays for it. Not everyone is cut for school. And this is coming from someone that comes from far away, no person will care about patriotism, cause in the end; money puts food on the table.
Your side of your hypothesis is easier to support because its the control, while ours is the variable. But when people do go and lobby for laws, don't lie under oath. Grab the bill and read it, disagree with it for rational reasons; don't make up lies.
but anyways, you won... most of us will have no choice but to stay in the shadows even more and then leave with the best of hopes. One day you'll be in my shoes and you'll ask for people to give you a chance. You will look into the eyes of your fellow Americans and you'll be kicked to the curb.
