pass it already!

WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE STORIES AND STRUGGLES THAT WE FACE; BEING IN THIS MESS... if anyone can share why DA/CIR is a MUST for you this year, why is it urgent... (respect all posts)

Yeah pass the DA Already damn!!!!

About FUCKIN time!

It's a must for me because I've been out of high school for 3 years now, and I can feel myself getting dumber. lol.. I can't keep going like this and I want to have an education and have a future. Plus, I'm married and I'm ready to start a real life with my husband. And maybe kids... years from now.

Also, my brother has one year left of high school. He'll graduate 2010, and if the Dream Act doesn't pass, he's going to have to go back to Mexico before he turns 18 (immediately after graduation) to avoid a ban. My brother was 4 years old when we came to the US and this is his home.

I want to start recording my album and become a famous Spanish popstar lol

Dream Act 09, and yes I'll get a degree in communications, but I need to become a star.

2009 is a MUST for me because:
As a citizen of Republic of Korea, I must serve in the military or I would be marked as a criminal. I was able to delay my mandatory service since I was a university student. But as the economic situation worsened in my family, I could no longer afford to go to school and with that, I no longer have any valid reason and cannot delay my service. My deadline is September 2009 for military service, after that I will be marked as a draft dodger and will have to serve 4 years (instead of regular 2 years) in the military and or go to jail. So why don't I just go back to Korea and take care of military service? Obviously as everyone knows, I will be banned from U.S. for 10 years. I still have a year left to finish in the university but if I leave now, I will never be able to finish school. What good does coming back and finishing up school do when I'm in 30's? What am I going to do, how am I going to survive till then?

I will be praying praying and praying for Dream Act to pass this year, hopefully before end of September 2009. Or I will be boarding a plane to Korea by end of September...

*Also because I want to join the U.S. Army and experience Iraq before they pull out... that's just a side story*

this year is a must for me b/c im fighting my case. ICE loves making departure tickets; more than a travel agency does.

this year is a must for me and everyone else who came here when they were young because i think we all paid enough for our freedom to pursue happiness. we are being treated as criminals and second class citizens but still love this country enough to endure all that humiliation and fear and try to stay and make a honest living. thats what being an american is all about, isnt it? personally i think that shows how worthy we all are to be americans then simply crawling out of a womb somewhere in texas. it's time to let us come up for a breathe. we've been drowning for too long.

It's urgent for me because I want to get back to MIT and Columbia again. I think they don't offer me the free tuition deal? Although I have enough money to pay for 4 years, I just don't want to. I mean I got accepted and I do want to get that deal from them.

My really hope is please change the age limited, instead of the age, please make it year.
Like anyone who came here before 2007, or something like that!
So my sister can get this too!

I think the age limit is a very important component of the bill.
I understand that your sister needs this too and all...but, opponents think it will be easy to commit fraud even with the age limit. Changing it to the "year of entrance" WILL be REALLY easy to cheat the system, and a lot of people who dont qualify will forge papers or rely on other methods to "prove" that they qualify.

Like what happened with the 1980s amnesty...
