For many of you who have not heard of the Dream Act, it is an act being proposed by illegal immigrant proponents in California that could be taken up in the U.S. Congress that would all financial aid to go to illegal immigrants. Many of you might be thinking that anyone who is against this measure is against illegal immigrants and Hispanics everywhere. However the reality is that the Dream act will kill many legal American dreams if it is enacted. The Dream Act is unfair to many Americans because it is already bad enough that nearly 10 million or more illegal immigrants live in America and we as Americans are paying for them as well as their children.
Think about this people, many illegal immigrants come to America and give birth to children in America making their children legal Americans. However if America actually protected its borders than we would not be faced with situations where children are born in America from illegal immigrants while naturalized, born, and legal American citizens are having to flip the education, health, and perhaps now the college bill of many of these children. If the Dream Act is enacted and passed, it would create an even greater problem for many Americans because it is already bad enough that many legal American children don’t receive any form of financial aid because their parents make too much. However those same parents that make too much are the very ones who are paying taxes in America are currently flipping the bill for the children of illegal immigrants who don’t pay any taxes in America except for a sales tax.
With the raise of a college education going up and many states starting to have students pay for each credit hour they take, the Dream Act comes at a time when it might kill the educational dreams of many legal Americans children while aiding in the educational dreams of illegal immigrants dreams. Those who believe this act is fair than tell it that to the tens of thousands or more college students who don’t receive any grants each year and have to take out loans just to go to college. For those of you who believe the Dream Act should be enacted than tell that to the hundreds of thousands of students who receive no financial aid whatsoever but their parents are flipping the bill for illegal immigrants kids. To those of you who believe that the Dream Act will save hundreds of dreams of the children of illegal immigrants than tell those hundreds of thousands of college graduates who have loans out the butt hole and got little to no grants while in school that this is a good piece of legislation.
The reality is that the Dream Act is not fair to the parents who are legal citizens of this country because we are the ones who will be paying for the children of illegal immigrants to obtain financial aid. Let’s be real, many illegal immigrants are poor in the first place and once their children are allowed to fill out the FAFSA form, that means nearly 50,000 children of illegal immigrants will have the opportunity to get financial aid thus taking federal dollars from the children of legal citizens and immigrants. The Dream Act is not a righteous act and those who oppose the act are fair in what they are saying. We can’t even afford to send the children of legal citizens and immigrants to college but we are arguing that the children of illegal immigrants should have the opportunity to obtain financial aid to go to college in order to pursue and achieve their dreams.
Just look at many of the southwestern states as well as states like California and Alabama, where illegal immigrants have found permanent homes. Many of those states are so in the red that they are in desperate need of a bailout from the federal government. Illegal immigration has been a major issue in America for years now but our federal as well as state governments have not properly dealt with this issue. Thus the children of these illegal immigrants are being placed on the shoulders of legal citizens and immigrants who pay income taxes and other taxes in this country while illegal immigrants pay nothing for their own children outside of food, shelter and clothing for the most part. In fact, it is hard to tell how many illegal immigrants are on Medicaid and food stamps illegally in many states as well as are receiving perhaps unemployment.
Therefore the Dream Act is not fair to those of us who are legal citizens of American. I understand that many America is the “Beckon of Hope” and the “Land of Opportunity”, however there needs to be a better way for the American Dream to be obtained. There needs to be a better way for the American Dream to be obtained so that legal citizens aren’t paying for the children of illegal immigrants to go to school while struggling to send their own children to school. The Dream Act will see many dreams of children of legal American citizens a whole lot tougher and unfair.
While life is not fair, the reality is that the Dream Act makes life a whole lot unfair in more ways than one. That’s why organizations, groups and people who support this act are not looking at how much this will hinder the homes of legal American citizens’ who are trying to figure out ways to send their own children off to college. However many of those same legal American citizens’ make too much so their own children can’t get financial aid while the children of illegal immigrants will be able to obtain financial aid if the Dream Act is put into place in any state or federally. Do they not see the error in the Dream Act and how passing the burden onto legal Americans whose own children can’t get financial aid but the children of illegal immigrants can?
The Dream Act might create the dreams of a few but it will make the dreams of others a whole lot tougher. The Dream Act does help many children obtain a college education but as it stands today, it is unfair for people who pay taxes and are legal citizens to pay for the college education of children of illegal immigrants while their own children can’t get a dime from the federal government. The Dream Act is more like a nightmare for many Americans and many college students who are suffering already to figure out how they will pay for the rest of this semester yet alone tuition for next year.
America can’t afford the passage of the Dream Act until it can provide financial aid for all of America’s children who are born to legal citizens of this country. The Dream Act can’t be passed in this time of atmosphere because illegal immigrants have put their own children in this situation and our government is to blame for our nation’s illegal immigration problem. The Dream Act will crush many dreams not create as many dreams as many would think it would.
The implementation of legislation like this one is unfair for those of us who are legal Americans because we are continuing to flip the bill for the children of illegal immigrants. Those illegal immigrants need to be flipping the cost of their own children like many of us are doing with our children as we attempt to send our own to college even without being given an opportunity to obtain financial aid. So until the dreams of our own children are achieved than the dreams of those children born from illegal immigrants cannot take place at the expense of legal citizens. The Dream Act shatters the dreams of thousands if not millions of Americans. Can America afford to place the dreams of a few at the expense of the dreams of many? The Dream Act is planning to do that and until someone else shows me otherwise, I cannot and will not support the Dream Act.
Any politician who supports such an act right now without trying to find a way to make sure that the children of legal citizens in America can get financial aid than I can’t support those politicians either. America’s financial aid structure is unfair and the Dream Act makes it a whole lot more unfair. The Dream Act kills many legal Americans dreams. This is the tragedy that is not being talked about and this is the tragedy that if we as American’s don’t’ fight against is about to be placed on our shoulders as many of us are trying to stay afloat in this nation. The Dream Act cannot fly by during a time when a 4 year college or university is becoming more and more out of reach of affordability for hundreds of thousands of American college students born to legal Americans.
The Dream Act will not make college more afford for those hundreds of thousands of American college students born to legal Americans and will in fact place the expense of continuing to pay for the educational endeavors of children of illegal immigrants on the shoulders of legal American citizens with children of our own. Does this sound like a Dream Act or a Nightmare Act that will kill many legal American dreams?
THE DREAM ACT KILLS MANY LEGAL AMERICANS DREAMS!

In state tuition for illegal aliens is not fair to American citizen students and legal resident students. As you should know, the tuition charged to a student, whether in-state or out of state does not cover the total cost of that student's education. There are taxpayer dollars subsidizing the remainder of the costs.
Another issue at hand is contravention of a 1996 federal law that prohibits any state from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens unless the state also offers in-state tuition rates to all U.S. citizens. This, obviously, is another law regarding illegals that our federal government doesn't enforce.
On top of that, this sends a message to foreign nationals to get their kids into America for a free public education and to top it off, special tuition benefits in college.
----------------------------------
Stopping providence of any tuition assistance to illegal aliens is essential. It will send a message that the little tricks legislators use to dupe the American people will no longer work. It will also prove to the illegals that American citizens are no longer asleep at the wheel, are fed up with our tax dollars going to services for illegal aliens, and that their special request trickery will be turned back by responsible citizens.
----------------------------------
Illegals receiving in-state tuition rates clearly discriminates against U.S. citizens and law-abiding foreign students who cannot. This is the first step in the goal of making illegals eligible for grants and student loans, in addition to favorable racial status awarded.
This obviously, will displace legal residents and American citizens from colleges and severely reduce the available pool of grants and loans. Some may think that there are unlimited seats available to fill in colleges. The truth is, for every admission of an illegal alien to college, an American student is denied because of the limited seats available. The last time I checked, going to college was not a “job Americans wont’ do.”
----------------------------------
The statements you hear from advocates for illegal aliens in favor of them having access to our colleges generally flow around their claim that better educated illegals will be more productive and will assimilate better into our society. This is not only fuzzy thinking, it is faulty logic. It’s very precept is that the illegal gets additional benefits to what they have already enjoyed by illegally remaining and operating here and gives a segment of them what they want – unfettered access to our higher education system (in addition to our primary education system that they have already utilized). This, of course, will be costly to the American taxpayer whether the illegal pays out of state tuition or not. It also deprives a deserving citizen or legal immigrant of the seat that the illegal would occupy. Another marketing campaign is that a child should not be penalized because of the ‘sins’ of their parents.
Allowing access to higher education, however, allows the child to benefit from the fact their parents broke the law. Where does the rule of law fit into all of this? Actually, no where. The very act of allowing placement of an illegal alien into our colleges tears at the social fabric of our culture by favoritism to a group people who are out of compliance with our laws. These very same people would then be free to operate lawlessly living and working alongside of citizens and legal immigrants who have been required to abide by our laws. The dichotomy here is not only egregious, it is outrageous. It is anarchy.
Seats in colleges are a limited and highly coveted resource so why should we put an illegal alien into one? Why should we be in the business of further educating and training a group of people who are illegally here and cannot legally be employed?
-----------------------------------
The fact is that things like college admittance and in-state tuition are just stepping stones to more things in the future. Just as giving a "free" primary and secondary education to all illegal alien kids was a stepping stone to them now demanding college admittance and in-state tuition, even at the detriment of Americans and legal residents who will lose their seat in the class in order to placate breakers of our laws.
The reality is that illegal aliens should receive no benefits, including admittance to college. Zip. Zero. Nothing. Nada.
----------------------------------
It is asinine, moronic and a violation of law that illegal aliens are allowed into colleges at all. I would argue that it is in violation of the 'aiding and abetting' statute in the 1986 IRCA. Even if illegal aliens were to pay out of state tuition, it would not cover the entire cost of their education because of capital costs, often conveniently left out (or purposely lessened) in the total costs calculations. Therefore, taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens would occur. Also, why would any legislator allow an illegal alien to take a seat in college from a deserving American citizen or legal immigrant?
Seats in colleges are a limited and highly coveted resource, why the hell would you put an illegal alien into one?
Also, why should we be in the business of educating and training a group of people who are illegally here and cannot legally be employed?
-----------------------------------
Illegal aliens and their advocates like to state that the college age illegals (young adults) should not be punished because it was their parents who broke the law. But, allowing these illegal alien young adults to attend college and remain in the U.S. rewards them for their parents breaking the law. Another claim you often hear is that prohibiting illegal aliens from attending community college is “inhumane”. This argument presumes that obtaining a taxpayer-subsidized college degree is a basic human right. Basic human rights, however, are universal and unchanging and the need or desire for a college degree is neither. This is not to say that obtaining a college education is not important. But is it more important than the rule of law, which illegal immigration undermines, not to mention the will of the people?
-----------------------------------
The rule of law is one prime determining factor that differentiates first world and third world countries. It mandates that illegal behavior be punished and never rewarded. Granting benefits, such as entry into our colleges to those in our country illegally offends this principle.
Worse, it perverts the law by punishing those who have or are in the process of entering legally and discriminates against citizens who would be negatively affected. Even if I agreed (which I don't) that illegals should be allowed to attend our colleges, who would be willing to state unequivocally that not one single tax dollar would be used and not one single citizen or LEGAL immigrant would be ever denied admittance because of space availability?
