"It creates a massive administrative burden on our federal bureaucracy that's already maxed out," he says. "There is a component of the DREAM Act that requires if somebody is eligible, they have to have been here since they were 16. How are you going to prove that?"
He then goes on to remnid people that the 9/11 terrorist posed as students and this bill if it became a law it could lead to "massive document fraud."
Dreamers i ask this from you are we going to let people say things like this to play with our futures? This is what i meant when i talked about organizations wanting to control this issue and make it thier own. I say its time to plan Sit ins which was talked about during the May 1st rally because if we don't then people will keep bombing the DREAM Act, playing with our futures and making our cause lesser than others. Please share this with your peers and lets be more organized i am willing to work with anybody to see this bill passed.

If DA is passed, I guess it only benefits the students and the graduated young adults, am I correct? Then I guess we have to send our diploma? Our transcripts? Something that will prove our education? Our tax statement? (or from our parents?) Anything that will prove us before 16? I don't really know.
For me I don't have to worry because I came with a B2 visa but I chose stayed in USA. But for other people who came here without going through an entrance (for example, crossing the border), there are still ways to deal with this problem. The simplest way is the first school registration record, or something similar?
secondly, the fraud part. I remembered on the news, I don't remember whether it's CIR or DA, the limit is, let say, before 2005/12/31, then someone can just make a fake document to show before 2005/12/31.
Fraud is surely going to happen for both CIR and DA. But why would he ever link terrorists with us? This FAIR organization is really anti-immigration reform as I read it last night. He is right about worrying the fraud part, BUT, but making such a statement about terrorists? He's shifting the problem towards us. Just like how they had said in the past: fix the driver license policy, the terrorists used driver license in 911.
The fraud part isn't our fault either. How many American citizens are tax dodgers? Even the nominees have been caught defraud on the revenue. So for the fraud part, please don't even worry.
We wait and see how it goes with the DA. Surely there will be a FAQ hotline set up !!!!
