I just don't want this kid using the DREAM Act as a shield because it makes the entire DREAM population look bad. This guy is not a reflection of me, I know better than to Drink and drive. So please, don't say that I need to see the bigger picture because in actuality I am looking at the bigger picture and the bigger picture looks a lot nicer without trouble making drunk drivers.

Like I said, I feel bad for him and his family but I refuse to draw a connection between me, someone who has worked his ass off academically - has a perfect record - works to better that community, and someone who decided drunk driving.

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. The last thing I want is to be associated in the same cause with a felon and I believe I'm speaking for all of us as well.
