Dream act

After reading my classmate’s blog regarding the dream act, which is to help immigrants become residents and give support for more job opportunities for them. I believe that we treat immigrants differently? Is this country still racist against other cultures? I believe that Rosibel has made some eye opening points regarding immigrants. Just like she said that nothing changes with the government until something bad comes along. In this case, Rosibel found an article about an illegal immigrant that had committed suicide. Possible cause of this suicide was because of minimal job opportunities available in the states.

The dream act is to help immigrants that have lived in our society and help them become residents with certain qualifications.  It is also to help open up more job opportunities and support immigrants that decide to go to school like any other person in the U.S. I totally agree with Rosibel, everyone should have the opportunity to go to school and work hard to succeed even immigrants. Why do we treat them like they shouldn’t have the same opportunities as us? I think that if an immigrant student wants to go to school here we should be supportive.  I agree with what Rosibel said “That these students should be allowed to pursue the dream act because these students study hard as anybody else in the University of Texas , and it is not fair for them to be rejected of opportunities just because of their legal status.”  I believe we need to be a better role model for our country and help people in need! Good Job Rosibel!
