I know it's tatamount to sacrelige to even ask the question, but I was wondering what people thought. Obviously i would whole-heartedly embrace any relief from this situation , but is that enough to make it right? Whenever I see someone representing us on t.v. they always seem like they're romanticizing being a political activist or can't see past correcting their situation to the consequences on others or how indifferent/objective the opposition might be. Plainly there's no real justification other than how much one would really want it.

Just thinking off the record, maybe if I wasn't undocumented myself, I at least might not be as adamant as I would be now about getting the dream act passed - essentially encouraging illegal activity now and in the future. I guess I just don't feel like anyone owes me anything, except maybe my parents.

So far it is but the biggest question is the maximum age cut off and if there will be Retroactive provisions or not.
