this is completely stupid. criteria has already been established. People have been fighting to pass the DREAM ACT for years. what makes you think youre special enough to change the rules? hey, maybe we should all write to papa Durbin and try to change the criteria for self benefit. Im surprised you did not include anything about homosexuality or physical disabilities. We need optomistic, positive people who will support the DREAM act and its Beneficiaries as a whole, not ego maniacs. And i hope you realize that if senators (for some odd reason) do take this list seriously and would like to change the criteria for the DREAM act it would take forever, and the dream act would miserably fail, again.
so please, instead of making lists about what would benefit you, pick up the phone and just ask your represenatatives to support and co-sponsor the DREAM act.
thank you.

Wow...

It makes me sad to see how there are close-minded people even in our midst. =(

What's with the whole AIDS/HIV rule? Wth?
I can see a huge riot forming over that.
Although I can't even say much, the rule exists already... stupid country...

But in any case, I don't think it's a very good idea to try and change the whole thing now, towards the end of it all. Might as well leave it as it is, don't mess with it, makes things easier.

I wrote a letter to Durbin too!

In mine i ask that he uses your letter as a litmus test. those who agree with you dont get the DREAM act, and are hired by ICE.


Idiot.

LOL at the no aids/hiv rule. Were you bitten or something?

What qualifications do you have, that would suit you as someone better than the senators to write the law text? Your keen observation on C-Span?

You forgot to add "No Mexicans" as one of the amendments. Might as well throw in full IRS audit on all cash based workers while you're at it.

Wow, how did I ever skip this thread.

Frankly, I would support your "Dream Act" -minus the Aids part, it is horribly evil- even if it didn't qualified me.- See, I jumped the fence at the ripe age of 13. If I though it had a chance to pass. Believe me, I am sick and tired of losing. Getting a victory, any victory, is fine with me.

Some times we are so adamant about getting the Red vote that we forget that the Blue vote also matters. We are assuming that once the Dream Act benefits 8 people, it will have overwhelming support.

I remember the dear Juan Gomez, fits most of your criteria and the opposition called an "individual amnesty" No, if your bill shows up in the hills, it is going to be slam by those who think you are as much of a free loader as a pregnant woman who jumped the fence yesterday.

The politicians who are in the fence are in this situation because of ignorance about the bill, its beneficiaries and the political loss/gain.

I've submitted the following letter to Senator Durbin along with other influential Congressman involved in the DREAM Act on both sides of the aisle.

United States Senator Richard Durbin
525 South 8th Street
Springfield, IL 62703

Dear Senator Durbin:

RE: DREAM ACT 2009 / AMENDMENT SUGGESTION

I applaud you Senator Durbin for taking the initiative to move this important piece of legislation. However, I am concerned, like years past, the legislation will not pass due to its flaws – it is important that both sides of the aisle construct a bill that is both fair and manageable.

I question the age limit of 30 – how is this explained? Considering the DREAM Act has been brought to the floor of congress so many times over a span of 5-years +…the original DREAM Act was introduced years ago – why set an arbitrary age limit in the first place? Setting an age limit of 30 might be considered "age-discrimination." If anything, the age limit of 30 should be increased for each year Congress failed to pass the DREAM Act.

**AMENDMENT TO REFINE RECIPIENTS OF DREAM ACT BENEFITS**

PREFERRED DREAM ACT RECIPIENTS CRITERIA:

1. Children who were brought here to the United States legally and due to outdated policies and procedures may have “aged-out” when their parents had applied for their permanent resident status. The applications to apply for permanent resident status was made while the children were under 21-years old however due to massive backlogs in processing times, these same children are now considered “undocumented.” No ARBITRARY AGE-LIMIT.

2. Parents of these now considered undocumented and illegal children/young people are permanent residents with valid green cards and are law-abiding, tax paying members of society.

3. Parents have applied to sponsor their children who have “aged-out” through no-fault of their own are waiting for their children to be able to adjust their status. Give children/young people who are considered “aged-out” some immediate relief. The Child Status Protection Act did not solve these problems, which is an epidemic in regard to family unity and our American Values.

4. Children/Young People who are now considered undocumented due to “aged-out” applications hold a VALID Social Security Number provided to them when they first legally entered the country. No identify theft has occurred.

5. These same children/young people have responsibly paid their federal income taxes each and every year again using their VALID SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER issued when they first legally arrived in the United States.

6. These same children/young people have graduated from a U.S. High School or Obtained a GED.

7. Have good moral character with no criminal record whatsoever.

8. Will agree to continue pursuing their college/advanced education or enlist in the military. If the young person already possesses a college/university degree, he-she shall be required to obtained Advanced Education (Masters, PhD) or enlist in the Military.

9. To show the United States the Children/Young Adults participating in the ‘Preferential Dream Act’ Recipient program are committed to being good citizens of society – 40 hours of community service required with federally approved volunteer programs.

10. The young-people participating in this program shall receive a two-year conditional green-card leading eventually to permanent residence status.

11. Finally, the recipients benefiting from this preferred Dream-Act alien classification do not carry or harbor certain diseases such as HIV, AIDS, etc.

I feel the immigration debate is best handled by working on “preferential” aliens regardless of how small the number may be affected and then working our way outward towards those aliens which are ‘less-preferential.’ Only in this way can any consensus be built. With such criteria above, how can any Representative or Senator possibly say ‘NO’ when you apply points one through eleven above? Lets find some common ground FIRST!
LOL, must all the recipients have the same first and last name you have?
