Will the Dream Act Help Your Illegal Kids?

The children of illegal aliens probably benefit most from illegals moving here to the United States. But what sort of benefit might they have if an act called the Dream Act becomes reality?

There's a bill in Congress called the Dream Act, and what it would do is give some 65 thousand high school graduates who came to the United States illegally as kids, a chance for citizenship by finishing either two years of college, or military service.

Well, this bill has been kicking around for many years, and in our opinion, when it comes up in September, it will once again be voted down. This is called "educational amnesty" by opponents.

They say that simply because a person is smart, they shouldn't be exempt for gaining citizenship legally like many others have to. It just doesn't add up.

But some say their parents drug them out of their countries so why should they have to pay for their "mistakes?" Okay, then - go back to your country. It's not a mistake - the mistake might have been not applying legally.

Even now, people facing deportation are awaiting until September - a reprieve from our government - to see if the bill passes.

Given the current temperature of the political terrain on immigration - plan differently. The Dream Act will not pass.
