Why do some 'Progressives' Oppose the DREAM Act? And Why They are Wrong
by DREAM Activist

Several important allies have raised some crucial points that hinder progressive support for the DREAM Act—points that several activist students have had to encounter in the form of artless dissent from leftist intellectuals and liberals.
We are talking about dissenters like the Association of La Raza Educators, Immigrant Solidarity Network, American Friends and Service Committee, a few Latino immigrant rights activists, and even the National Lawyers Guild that refuses to take a stance on the DREAM Act. Why? They dislike the military provision in the DREAM Act that could make certain ethnic minority students such as Latino kids in the barrios more susceptible to recruitment by military officials. This is not a moot point—it is a cause for concern but it requires several hundred grams of historicizing and perspective.

I find the "Dream Act" very natural, good, responsible, humane and kind.
I hope that the Democratic Party supports it. If the Republican Party opposes it then it is declaring that it does not want Latinos in its tents.
Latinos should concentrate all their efforts in Education, Education and Education. That is good for them and for America and her Future Economy.

California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero and other CA legislators are fighting a system that stops and traps the Minorities.
There is an "Exit Exam" for youngsters that finish "High School". But the exam is a trapdoor to catch "disabilities" that Minorities may have in California. I have poor information but I suspect that this exam may be culturally biased and does not measure real skills and potentials.
Even entrepreneurs are angry because they need the new employees.
They have sued and challenged the system in court and many legislators are joining the California Senate Majority Leader.
The research firm squandered the state money miserably and stupidly and Ms Gloria Romero is very angry.
Education is the future of Minorities, including Latinos and Latinas.
There are predictions on the Internet that Latinas will go upwards in Corporations and Business faster than Latinos for Marketing Reasons and also because of Demographic Reasons.
