The DREAM Act would give the
Secretary of Homeland Security the power of a
king in regards to immigration, waiving whatever he or she pleases.
The law
would be meted out by the choice and power of this appointed secretary
under
provisions that undermine immigration law and criminal law in many
ways.
Read the bill for yourself and note how many times the Secretary is
mentioned and given the right to waive and overlook to law.

This NIGHTMARE Act would fulfill to the parents of illegals exactly
what was
part of their dream, a better life for their children. The dream for
which
they violated all our immigration laws and process to obtain
illegally. We
would be putting a stamp of approval upon their unlawful acts,
encouraging
more of the same from all future illegal aliens. This law would cause
an
explosion of the illegal alien invasion and could only be worsened by
complete amnesty to all illegal aliens. Consider that since the first
amnesty of a few million in the 80's, our illegal population has
increased
to unknown numbers, but more closely estimated at over 30 million, at
least
10 times what is was in the 80's.
Citizens of the U.S. are in jail and have paid heavy fines for doing
what
illegal aliens/foreigners do every day. And they would be
exempted from
paying any consequence by this DREAM Act. This undermines our
rule of law
within the U.S. Consequences for bad behavior must be realized and
carried
out in order for the law to be a deterrent. More and more lawless
behavior
will be the result.
In fact, millions of criminal acts are being committed daily by the
supposed
"good" illegal aliens. Lying is a way of life; perjury the norm; use
of
false documents and filing false documents everyday stuff for the
illegal
aliens. Driving without license and insurance is done by millions,
endangering all Americans around them. They live in protected
communities
already, for the most part, free from prosecution for violating our
laws.
They want to be entirely free, without consequence for their illegal
behavior.
Proponents of DREAM note that children should not be punished for the
crimes
of their parents. I would suggest that not giving a benefit is a far
cry
from punishment. Should children be treated as the adults? Certainly
not,
but neither should they be rewarded for the crimes of their parents.
My thoughts of change for fairness are as follows. The illegal alien
child
should be deported, as should their parents, but eligible to
immediately
apply for re-entry and a proper VISA. Their parents would be
ineligible to
apply for a Visa for 3 or 10 years, as the law now reads. Total
candidness
must apply in their applications as with everyone, and if there is any
bad
behavior regarding our laws in their past, they would still be
ineligible....no amnesty for any crimes against the United States. Is
this
harsh? In no way. It is mercy. Harshness would be fines, punishment
and
deportation and adult laws enforced upon the children.
The overall picture of justice for all equally must be considered, not
just
the situation of illegal alien children. The inappropriate behavior of
not
enforcing immigration laws by local, county, state, and national
executive
officers, duly elected and sworn to uphold all the laws, has led to
this
situation, and further erosion of the laws is by no means the
solution. Only
returning to strict and fair enforcement toward all without regard to
anything but behavior, is what is required and what should be done.
This,
in conjunction with complete suppression of all illegal entry at our
borders, is the best solution, in my opinion.
