As hard as they try to make the U.S. believe in their lies disguised as truths, when it comes to opposing Immigration reform and the Dream Act, the antis don't really have a leg to stand on. So, they plot, plan and launch online and phone smear campaigns which consist of:
A) Creating confusion as far as what the Dream Act is (for), who it benefits and what those benefits are.
B) Spreading these lies to as many people, as fast as possible to get them riled up and ready to fight the wrong war, the wrong people.
Since I've joined the fight to make Dream a reality, I've noticed that the typical anti always feels the need to pass him/herself as a happy and wealthy expert in the Immigration process and pertaining laws. But I can't help but wonder how happy and fulfilled they actually are. They want everyone to believe that they have America's best interest at heart. But what kind of person invests his time and his life fighting against children who've done nothing to him but want to contribute to the same economy, the same culture and country that he proclaims to love. We already are productive, educated members of this society so why don't these patriots want us to become recognized citizens of the U.S.
Antis try to make this an us (true Americans) against them (the illegal aliens) issue. They try to push, to sell their stand as a it's them (dreamers) or our children attitude. But all one has to do is to take a good, unbiased look at the facts and realize that there must be ulterior motives behind all of this hatred...
Completely agree. It all comes down to 'us-versus-them syndrome'. Yes, there are criminal immigrants just as there are criminal American citizens. Most immigrants, especially the ones who risked their lives as well as their families lives to cross the border, do not come to the United States to cause it harm. And this is even more true for us - who just want a chance to contribute.
