But I think before the Dream Act should pass, DC citizens should get the right to representation. It seems weird that this would pass and would in a few years, give them more rights than DC residents have. I don’t really have a problem with the Dream Act.

Yes, the parents are the ones who broke the laws, so perhaps we should continue promoting chaos and law-breaking. Many U.S. citizens cannot find work. Our parents came here from ELLIS Island and abided by the rules, learned English, DIDN'T expect everyone here to Learn their language. In certain areas, unless you know Spanish, you're at a major disadvantage. Sorry but this is......unfair and unacceptable. Life is painful for many of us, but the dream act is not sending the right message. I wish I could be living independently, being that I'm a college grad, and have overcome A GREAT DEAL, but because I don't know Spanish, I cannot find decent work in my career area. In the last 10 years, every one and there mother came over the border from Mexico, and because our government is callous and careless many of us need to move out of the country for work. I don't want to go back to working the same jobs I did before obtaining 5 years of college and years of experience...Time to look out for 'WE THE PEOPLE.'
