Economic benefits of DREAM
Thought it was pertinent to remind people about this (always to be found in the sticky on this page):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe we can somehow attach it to an economic stimulus package - really reaching here but they attached a geothermal pump project to the bailout so the whole germane/not germane thing is ridiculous. |
Re: Economic benefits of DREAM
Not just Hispanic students--but all undocumented students who get to work legally in the U.S. will make great contributions to the national economy.
Really, the DREAM Act can do wonders to America. |
Re: Economic benefits of DREAM
^I definitely agree, the RAND report specifically reported on the Hispanic community though.
I've mailed a truckload of letters to the Economist and the Wall St. Journal at this point asking them to investigate this matter but with no results so far. If you guys see something printed on this issue we should use it especially given the current environment. My bet is that the antis will oppose any forthcoming measures on the grounds that "Americans are hurting and illegals will just drain the money from the people" - we need to preempt this idea because it's false. Let's set the record straight. |
Re: Economic benefits of DREAM
yeah that's so true. I don't think Dream can possibly damage the economy, it means more tax payers for the state. Not to mention many many nurses, even just on our forum, possible doctors, architectures, and engineers.
Maybe giving us financial aid might be debatable in terms of effecting the economy but we don't even want financial aid, just give us a loan and we'll pay it off!!! |

Re: Economic benefits of DREAM
DREAM being passed into law will be GREAT for the economy, too bad that people in charge of passing laws oversee all the benefits of DREAM and focus on what they think is wrong with this law.
In DREAM's case: Giving papers to law brakers. I know, we didn't want to brake the law on purpose, but that's the way they see us. That's why DREAM has fail so many times in the pass...hopefuly this year will be our year :-) |
Re: Economic benefits of DREAM
I agree.
Writing and demonstrating that WE ARE CAPABLE of promoting this economy may in fact encourage some to open their eyes and let us fulfill our careers. All you hear on the news is JOBS JOBS JOBS we need jobs, we dont want to take anybodys jobs we just want a fighting chance to help the country out, because WE CARE ABOUT IT. Currently there is a major ICE raid in IOWA its all over CNN, and if the country needs any more substantial proof of how this in fact shatters towns, businesses, families along with driving industries to the ground then here they have it. http://consumerist.com/consumer/your...ess-302775.php WRITE WRITE WRITE The way to solve this is not via seeking external help, we have to grow from the ground up our efforts within the country. Let us demonstrate that DREAM does help. That we do count, and CAN make the difference. **This is the first time I write such a passionate post, please dont kill me..... |
