I'm from California.. And I would love to be a part of any events in regards to this. I'm just another kid like yourselves who are following up on the Dream Act very closely... The AB 540 went through recently, so I am thankful that God has provided a way for me to attend college. I didn't even know I was illegal until I applied for college last fall! I'm so glad that there are other kids like me going through the same thing... I'm attending college this fall, and I can't even work for my tuition. But no worries, God has supplied me with the money, so the only thing I'm paying attention to is the upcoming legislation.
The weird thing about me is that I go to a church where most members vote Republican. They despise Democrats due to their positions on social issues. When I told them I was an illegal immigrant, all of them were surprised.
It's too bad Americans have negative notions about illegal immigrants. If you take a look at American history, the pilgrims and colonists were illegals at that time too. I wonder why some Republicans are so anti-illegal immigrants. They are descendants of immigrants.
