haha declaration of independence was written by one guy and everyone else just signed it cause it sounded good. We haven't been honoring that document for a looooooooooong time. I took ap history 1 and 2 and it amazes me how much regular Americans don't know about their own country and how many times we have repeated the same mistakes over and over and over.

haha thank you.

Yeah, I know we haven't been honoring it, but we damn well should!

I'll admit I don't know alot about this country. I'm sure you guys know more than I do in some aspects.

Jsut another reason why you guys deserve residency...

Sorry, double post...

I'm so thankful at least you guys support what I'm doing. I returned to a board I left a long time ago and told them about this and the site I'm doing...and they're lashing out...hard.

=[

I know all the arguements, but jeez, they say "don't take it personally" and then they bash me. bastards. Anyways, I'm just feeling low. And I thought I was doubting it BEFORE? Jeez, if this is just one board, there are so many others who don't believe in this, it's discouraging....
(i'm sorry, i'm venting. of course i still believe, but i just hate that these fuckheads [sorry] are sucking up the benefits of this country when some of you all deserve more than that....and they take it all for granted. sometimes i feel ashamed for even being associated as "white" because so many white people act like these peices of shit. [sorry]. gives us a bad name....)

lol calm down. I don't think it is simple "white" thing. Growing up in the bay I haven't had any racist moments, so I honestly like white people more than Asians. I know that sounds a bit wrong... but I am 1.5 generation, grew up here since I was 10 years old.

While there are parts of me that are Korean, for the most part I am Americanized. All my beliefs and ideologies are very strong southern baptist. I get frustrated with Asian people, especially my parents with some of their ways/ thinking. While I find white people much more friendly and courteous.

Sure, there is plenty of those haters but I am fortunate enough to not have encountered any of them. So I actually like white people more lol
Plus this goes vice versa, illegal immigrants in Korea are mistreated. When I say mistreated I mean MISTREATED, like animals. They are very racist, so every race has its rotten apples.

(plus I think blondes are HOT)

i'm from banlgadesh (it's in south asia for those who didn't know :P) and i think white parents are a lot more liberal than asian parents. I came here when I was 11 and i consider myself pretty americanized and it's frustrating sometimes to deal with the closemindedness of my parents and relatives. My mom doesn't even want me to date anyone until i'm like 24 lmao

We've been thinking of fundraising opportunities so that we could help the cause. I was trying to look up a cause that would benefit from a donation, but then I realized, we could always help out on our own.

This is the idea so far:

We're thinking of making T-Shirts with our cause, making stickers, and using positivelyfundraising.com to gain money, and then as well take donations. We will "sponsor" an undocumented immigrant in the position of going to college or trying to go to college and make it in life. We probably won't make much, but perhaps we could cover the cost of a book...or a semester for example.

The only problem is, I'm a bit confused. I'm scared it won't work, and I'm getting mixed information. That's where I need your help.

For those who know California Law:

I know that an undocumented immigrant can get into community college and the UC/Cal State system. Thsoe who somehow pay their way through school and complete their credits on their way to graduation...

is graduation possible? Are they actually ALLOWED to graduate from college? I've heard different and this I did not know, since they are allowed to attend, it doesn't make sense that they cannot graduate.

Help??
Sorry I dont have much time to read through all the responses.

Sounds great, but in my opinion, the first step to raise money to help students financially is by getting the word out there and making the organization grow. Which would mean, no financial aid just yet. After the organization grows bigger, you can give applications for some sort of aid. We cant just give it to anyone. Only deserving DREAMies.

As for that question... When I got into a community college, I signed a "promise" saying that I was in the process of getting my residency and will have it before graduation. It also said that the failure of this would not let me graduate.

Maybe it depends on the college you attend?

Well, that's what I know...

Keep in touch please.

are u talking about the affidavit on AB540? Because if u are, it doesn't say you have to get it done before graduation.

=D

OF COURSE! =P

That's our goal right now, and then the fundraising soon. We're trying to just post flyers and spread the word about us first! =]

I have a flyer saved on a flash drive for The Real American Dream, if anyone wants one (and to stay on a mailing list of ours. very rare emails, but whenever something important happens..yeah) just PM me with your email and I'll attach one to an email for you. It's one of those where you can tear off a peice that has the URL on it and everything for contact, so it'll help inform people about both the DREAM act and The RAD team.

Top priority right now is to spread the word and giving motivation over the internet for now until we can do so physically through aid. =]]
