I wanted to point out how many of you on this board have played the "I'm Superior Game" yourselves, how you are so much better then USC's. Well you in my opinion you no better or worst than any USC's or human being for that point. But what does separate you from a natural born USC is that they will have a SS# and can get legal ID or Driver's license, they cannot ever be deported. A naturalized USC can lose it all if they commit certain crimes and that is just a fact.
What I disliked about what some you say about the USA is that you have the nerve to angry at it for not passing CIR or the DA. The USA didn't put you in this position, your relatives did. And Americans white and black feel that way. But some are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt as am I. But some of your negative and downright nasty comments are irritating to say the lest. Some of you truely don't need to be here. Let's face it you are here for economic reasons, which is not allowed under US immigration law. And while enonomics isn't such a bad reason to me, it just simply isn't allowed under existing US law.
The USA is one of main countries in the world in which most people would like to immigrate to for a better life, but there are only so many slices of any pie in any country. In this one the top 2% seem to control everything, but then again hasn't that always been the way of the world?
I have always wondered how many of you would want the Dream Act if say you had to serve 4 yrs in any branch of the armed services, even if you did 2 yrs. of college?
Would you still want it as much? For some of you who want to serve you have my respect, because being willing to put your life on the line is indeed worthy to me of citizenship.
Sometimes you have to be willing to die for a cause, I saw this doing the 1960's Black Civil Rights Movement. Those protesters face odds greater than yours that somethings ended in death. They rightfully earned their high station in history, for it truely did change the face the of this country for the better.

I have to say that a good point is made here and you should really take notice of what is being said. The attitude I have noticed from alot of you dreamers does mirror what this person is saying. There is too much " I deserve this and I deserve that" when in actuality you deserve nothing. I understand it was your relatives and not yourselves who caused these difficulties you are now experiencing, but your plight will not be solved by this kind of attitude. Want to prove you are worthy of the right of American citizenship with no question? serve in the military. I myself served in the United States Army, not because I wanted something from my country in return, like you would be doing, but because I believed it was the right thing to do for my country. I am a citizen who has worked and will continue to work to strike down any attempt at amnesty and a dream act. Why? because I firmly believe that contrary to your beliefs, this country owes you nothing, you owe this country for not enforcing the law and allowing you to stay as long as you have. So why don't you use the college education that you have obtained and actually do something that you know will net the results you crave? Serve this country in the most unselfish way you can, via the armed forces and recieve your citizenship.
