As much as I want to sympathize with Daniel. He does not represent us.

I know it sounds harsh, but the dreamer movement is not about becoming a regular member of society. Dreamers do not cross their arms and conform, they do not act like gangsters, we do not do drugs or drive under the influence.


That is not why we ask for relief from deportation. We ask for relief because we want to make a difference.

We want to be business owners, educators, doctors, scientists, engineers etc...

We shoot to work at the top of our game, we work overtime to be able to afford tuition.



Sometimes I feel we all forget about our purpose, the dream.


Yesterday I had a real good conversation with many of my fellow engineer dreamers, great people, different views.

Daniel deserves to be deported. It was made very clear from the beginning that there would be no tolerance. The election was lost. There are consequences.


I will not defend that guy. I feel bad for him, his family failed him, his community failed him. At the end of the day he made decisions that led him to be stripped from his DACA.

Do I feel that ICE violated his rights of privacy etc... sure but it is not an excuse.


With that said, Donald Trump today acknowledged him during the press conference. I am glad he was bold enough to say, the great majority of dreamers are good people.

There are exceptions and he is right.

I am not a Trump supporter but I agree with his statement.

It's depressing how quick some dreamers here are willing to throw other immigrants under the bus.

Do you feel like you deserve DACA more then a person that just got basic education like High School since you are an engineer?

What do I care, it's a free country (at least until last year), people are welcome to do dumb shit all they want as long as it doesn't infringe on others. And no, being offended by a tattoo is not being transgressed upon. The burden of criminal proof is on the state.

Original Dream Act stipulated 2 years college/military. If you cant do any of that, sorry you are not a Dreamer.

It's what fear does, turns people against those 'unlike me'. It's how we're in this sad state of affairs in the 1st place.

Why?

You know some people couldn't go to college straight outta high school, right? Like they actually had to support their families and didn't have the time or the money for college.

Please don't judge, its not right

True ^

I will admit to being surprised seeing the requirement of only HS education for DACA when it was first announced. Surprised only because the DREAM Act required 2-years of college/military at the very least.

But, now, if you're covered by DACA, you should be covered for any future permanent legalization.

I couldn't go to college for some time as well.

But nowadays anyone can at least sign up for couple of classes at a comm. college.

There is no excuse.

If you can't do that and instead choose to hang out with gangbangers, sorry you're not a Dreamer. Should have thought of college instead of wasting your time with wankstas.
