Deporting the nearly 65,000 undocumented students that would have benefitted from the Dream Act, a measure rejected last December by the U.S. Senate, is an objective of immigration reform opponents.
Undocumented students have no where else to go. They know nothing about their country of origin. These are people who were raised as Americans and hardly given a choice in moving here, and should be absorbed into the U.S. where their productivity would greatly benefit the nation.
Many undocumented students consider themselves Americans without a legal status because they were brought to the country even before they spoke their first words. This is the case of Yuri Tobon, college student and activist, who did nothing wrong when she was brought to the U.S. at a young age. She bravely describes the hardships she and other undocumented students face.

Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
No anonymous it makes me better than them and you. Because I want to leave this country but I will not sneak into some other country to make it. I follow immigration rules wait and save. You are a low life and support wrong Fidel Castro & Hitler are also better people than you to. So go gather all your illegal immigrant parasite friends and leach of your home countries from where you came.
Illegal immigrants are desperate and use less as good neighbors in the U.S. They break laws entering our country then are to scared to report criminal activity of which is a deep concern to U.S communities and citizens. Most illegal immigrants are lazy drunks, illegal drug users, not smart and business owners are to blame too for hiring / harboring them which makes them worse than the illegal immigrant. Also we should push congress to have all business owners / hiring managers in the U.S jailed & fined if they knowingly hire an illegal alien. Our U.S government corporations and business owners have figured out how to enslave, rob us, and kill us without even using a gun. These Guys R Evil Geniuses! Watch Out U.S Citizens & The International Poor! Every time a U.S business hires and illegal alien before a legal citizen is an assault or act of indirect violence to cause death to legal U.S citizens by financial impairing us. Please help us stop this pelage that is destroying our young growing nation and support the American Dream at http://usmoa.org/
Yes, because the top notch students earning a degree without any financial assistance are the drug addicts you are talking about, it just makes perfect sense. Students are asking for a chance for those have have fought for it. A drug addict or an alcoholic would never be admitted into the system, part of the adjustment of status process is a blood test. Of course they don't report crimes, they would get kicked out, can't the government simply pass a law that protects an individual that reports a crime? HELL, they have a law to protect reporters that write nasty stories and leak U.S. confidentil information that could be used by terrorists. This is not a "young growing nation" it's an old DYING nation (since when did a a many times trillion dollar debt became a statement of stability). These students are trying to fix these nation, and to deny them an education makes you no better than slave owners, or Fidel Castro, or Hitler (after all, it comes down to our blood).
