I've recently read about the dream act and I've read somewhrere that if any one has gotten a job or attended school and lied about their status and got away with it, they would immediately be disqualified from the act.. Anybody else read this anywhere else? Is it true? If it is...I'm dead meat

Lying about your status and getting the job or accepted to the school which otherwise would not be possible to achieve, would probably be considered fraud, which I believe has the potential to disqualify you from the DA.

however, I have not heard or read anywhere specify what would be considered fraudulent behavior to disqualify you from the DA.

I think this is mentioned in the INA act that is referred in the current DA either in the senate or the house.

None of us are sure if/when DREAM Act passes how carefully they will look into our backgrounds (ie: check if any of us put US citizen on a college application or anything else).

Oh no, I'm scared I don't know what I should do, If I'm going to lose the chance of being accepted into the dream act by going to school illegally should I keep attending ?

Here is how I see it. They will bitch about you not working and being a ‘burden’ to society. But when you get a job, pay taxes and work illegally they will bitch about you lying about you status – you can’t win. I say fuck ‘um. I pay tax on every penny I earn (as I feel I should). I do not have any qualms about representing myself as a USC. It’s the immigration system that’s fucked up not me! Hell, I should be a USC by now (and I could have been if I married for papers). I will not let them run my life into the ground. I live my life. I have gained the experience I need to make a decent living if/when they deport my ass to the EU.

I’m a bit of a control freak. I need to know that I am running my life and not the politicians that keep ‘postponing’ our lives because they are not deemed important enough to them. I will face the consequences if I need to but I will not be their bitch….!

Agreed. In any case, my parents were undocumented for almost ten years, and they worked, held drivers licenses, paid taxes, etc. Now they are green card holders. I believe that when the DREAM Act passes, those of us who had to break the rules to LIVE will not be penalized. I don't see any other way for this to work. It isn't our fault the system is broken. We're just trying to survive the best we can.

USCIS doesn't see it that way, though. There is that 212(6)(c)(ii) lifetime ban for fasely claiming US citizenship. If you plan to ever "fix" your status, it will never happen and you'll be found inadmissible to the US forever without a waiver.
