Kill the Dream Act

We all know that a dream is a fantasy. It has little basis in fact and in most cases an impossibility of realization. I dream that I am President of the United States. I also dream that I am standing at the top of Mount Everest. Does that mean that I should be making plans to fulfill those dreams? Should I expect that the taxpayers give me a grant so that I can organize a trip to the top of Mount Everest?

Forget the Dream Act. It's a ridiculous consideration brought about by super liberalism and compassion abuse. Every dollar that would be spent on fostering the education of an illegal person (child or adult) is a dollar out of the pocket of the public who would have no say on whether to make that contribution. There is plenty of room for private donations by people who could support this. Do not engage in the consistent socialistic principle of making laws to spend other people's money, whether they agree or not.

Kill the Dream Act. Make it dead, dead, dead. Children born in the US are citizens and have a right of opportunity. Children not born in the US have no basis for opportunity in this country and should not be considered for taxpayer grants.

Let us remember that the whole basis of our growth through immigration was to accept people who could immediately contribute to the economic growth of the country. In the main, they had already received their education abroad and were able to then use it for opportunities in the US. People without skills were not previously accepted. Yes, we can change that policy. We can now accept any poor person who can bum a ride to the United States or scale a wall in the Southwest. Would this be the way we want to expand the standard of living of our citizenry? It wouldn't work. It would be a national redistribution of wealth. All citizens would become poorer as they support Dream Act noncitizens.

I have a rule of thumb for my life. I first take care of myself. After that and through the strength which I have achieved, I've been able to help others. I have seen the weak try to help the weak. It doesn't work. They both go down the tube. My way can also work on a national basis.
