The title to this post explains the reason why Conservatives are as they are, stubborn close-minded people. They've gone their entire lives with all the opportunities they could ever want or need, and assume that the rest of the world is lazy and incompetent for not being as well off intellectually, economically or socially as they are.
Remember how Harry Reid promised he will get the DREAM Act on the Senate floor? Well the gracious John McCain has promised he will do everything to Block the DREAM Act. Have I grown up misled to believe that the United States wants the best of the best (of people) in the world? How is allowing "crime-free", positive contributing members of society the opportunity to become part of this great nation a problem? The DREAM Act will require that individuals have arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16, have a clean criminal record, and commit at least two years to the military or college . . . How is this a problem?
Like every opportunity to attain (usually you'd see the word "legalization" here, but I refuse to use that word as there is no such thing as an "illegal" human being) permission to live in the U.S., there are many conditions. I believe that in addition to those 3 already being talked about, there will be a certain cut off date. That's really the only issue I can see Conservatives having a problem with. Allowing anyone who gets here before they turn 16 to fall under the DREAM Act and then we'll have a flood of people coming to the U.S. with their kids to have them become citizens.
Seriously though, what's the problem with permitting non-criminals who go to college or the military to have the opportunity to take advantage of the endless possibilities of life here in the U.S.? If anyone out there can help me understand the mind of the conservative, I'd love to hear it.
On the other side of McCain's plan, we have the full support of the President of the United States, President Obama with the DREAM Act.
I just want to express to everyone I can reach, which probably isn't the people that truly need to be reading this, there needs to be a solution to the issue at hand. The issue of having 15million (most likely more than that)eager individuals to of being set free and allowed to become those aeronautic engineers, doctors, pediatrics, cancer researchers, teacher, nutritionists and personal trainers to reach their full potential. A major waste of talent is happening right as I type. We (U.S.) are know to be a wasteful people . . . suppose it isn't out of character, but to have change it only takes one step. I have faith that the first steps that have been taken will take us where we need to go, and be well on our way to stop being so wasteful.
Thanks so much for reading, I hope all the best to you and those around you.
MUCH LOVE!!!
