My e-mail to the senators from my great state of California:
Please do what you can to keep the "Dream Act" amendment from being
added to the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act Agreement.
Giving incentive to illegals from any country to come here and stay is
in complete contradiction of "national defense." American universities
are for Americans and those who legally go through the process of
obtaining a student visa. I was born and raised in California and went
to college here and barely got any aid because it was a private
university and due to family circumstances, so I took loans out myself
and will be paying them off until 2050. Meanwhile my tax money was
being used to help other Californians afford college. That bugged me
enough, but giving it to people who are here because they or their
parents broke the law is absolutely unfair. If law-breaking
non-citizens get aid for college, then I demand a reimbursement for the
student loans that I'm paying off like a law-abiding American sucker.
