Was the dream act just for Mexicans, orwould it have covered a Canadian that was here illegally? A cuban? A Hatian? Anyone know?

ahoy chassisman!

imma lookin' 'round fer ye. everythin' i read on the Dream Act would indicate that children from canada, ireland, china, etc, etc, would be eligible fer it.

'tis not somethin' that would apply only to them swabby's from south 'o the border.

i think 'tis kinda unfortunate that this bill did not pass, also. these be children who were bought to our land, aye? they've got no record 'o bein' criminals themselves, and it requires'm to attend college or serve in our military...it'll get them folks on our tax rolls. i could go on and on 'bout the benefits 'o providin' this pathway to citizenship fer these kids, but the mighty O'SullivanBere has said it all.

this seems 'nother case 'o Principle over Reason, to me.

folks who are happy to see the Dream Act scuttled have no patience fer reasonable points that illustrate how this would be a grand thing fer our land....they just kinda hew to the idear 'o principle.

thar position be, "so what if its beneficial to our country? i don't care, i'm standing on PRINCIPLE!".
