So please, shut your mouth.

DREAM Act is something that means the world to me. Once again, I refuse to allow some guy who made a stupid decision use it in his defense. He fucked up, and now has to pay for it. I'm sure he knew that a DUI is a certain deportation. Don't tell me im wrong, he was wrong.
I believe this debate is over, and I highly doubt each one is going to back down from their positions. We don't need people to butt in and give us their two cents. Thank you though.

Yes, so hopefully you finally learned to use some commonsense.

The thing is that he did get drunk and drive.

It is not like a speeding ticket where you can argue 40miles or 42 miles.

Drinking alcohol is more close to black and white result. Not a gray result. Either you drank or not.

Anyway, I personally don't feel sorry for him. But I do agree with some people here that making excuses for being undocumented and get drunk and caught is very lame. It makes us hardworking individuals look bad in some ways.

We have to be much smarter then this guy. Let's learn from his mistake and move on. One of the requirements to be included under the Dream Act is "good moral character". This guy does not qualify anymore. I wish him the best of luck and better decisions.

I think he has had more support from the people, legislators, and human right activists from Chicago, than from the people in here, which is kinda sad. Maybe through his case, he'll receive a stay of deportation. Then he'll be that much more active and vocal for the Dream Act. Not just for him, but for others as well.
