Tie repeal of affirmative action to passage of the DREAM act!!

I recently attended a college graduation and reflected on the employment possibilities facing all young people. Affirmative action creates an uneven playing field for those not covered entering the workforce. In these modern times it seems affirmative action has served it's puropose.

The DREAM act could add countless numbers of people immediately afforded affirmative action advantages in the workplace. It is not fair to further disadvantage those not covered by affirmative action with the increased number of protected individuals competing for employment and advancement the DREAM act would create.

Sorry, I missed the section of the bill that guarantees secure jobs for DREAMers' field of preference. Your post reeks of self-serving bias; if you are not persistent enough to find a decent job minorities are sure to be blamed, right?

Why would you want to repeal affirmative action, when they are unrelated?

Biggest loser of affirmative action repeal is Hispanic, and Asians will take all the affirmative action slots. This already happened in UC system, where Asians are now the majority while there are almost no new Black or Latino non-athletic freshmen.
