redditCan you do a story on the federal Dream Act? Because you know immigration is a big issue, and you need to get the word out that there are decent young people who are going to school to get their degrees, but in the end they can’t work because they don’t have legal status. More than half were brought here at a very young age, “by force” you could say, not because they wanted to come to the U.S. illegally. I’m an AB540 student [Assembly Bill 540 is the law allowing some “undocumented” California residents to pay in-state tuition] at SBCC and hopefully will be a registered nurse someday!

If they are illegal they should go back and get in line and apply to come in , rather then break the law come here and steal from us our hard worker tax dollars.
Who could argue with that?

Let's take care of the many LEGAL poor kids who deserve an education before we worry about throwing more benefits and free stuff at all of the illegals, er "undocumented."
