I've been ridiculously busy over the past few months. School, work, personal projects, etc.
I just wanted to put some of my thoughts down on the Dream Act.
We saw a lot of protests and activism from our activists. I'm really honored by them. They are doing the legwork that I can't afford to do, and I respect and admire their efforts.
Nevertheless, the mainstream media and the average American overlooked the Dream Act in favor of their own issues- jobs, the economy, inflation, etc.
This may be disheartening, but in hindsight, it's to be expected.
The silver lining in this event is that we have learned something. We know what to do next.
If America is only going to focus on issues like jobs and the economy, we can gain tremendous traction for the DREAM Act by linking them with jobs and economy. This will make people support it. This will make senators support it.
We just need to make sure we make rational, logical arguments that connect Dream Act onto the big boat of jobs and the economy.
