My dear Hispanic, Latino, and Asian Brothers and Sisters,
I'm so so sorry, hurt, and disappointed that the Dream Act didn't pass in the Senate. The Senators that voted "No" to the DREAM Act ought to be ashamed of themselves.This is suppose to be United States of America, "Land of the free", an independent country. Lately, this country hasn't been living up to it's slogan.My heart goes out to you. I understand the DREAM Act was suppose to be your path to citizenship. This Act would also help solve immigration in the United States. Why in the hell didn't five so-called Democrats in the Senate help passed the Dream Act? Please don't give up on this. Now who are the following sell outs responsible for this? Senators Mark Pryor(D-Ark), Jon Tester (D-Mont), Max Baucus (D-Mont),Kay Hagan (D-NC), and Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska), and, of course, some Republicans. I didn't expect this from Democrats! I'm in
shock! My Hispanic, Latino, African and Asian brothers and sisters, you all deserve a chance to have a life filled with liberty and happiness! Stay strong and be encouraged! You deserve to live a life of independence and freedom! Let me be the first to say that I'm completely disguisted with all five of these so-called Democrats. Senator Jeff Sessions, a Conservative Republican who opposed the DREAM Act, created something to help keep the DREAM ACT from passing: http://www.politico.com/static/PPM170_101122_dreamalert.html
I feel that Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is a racist anyway (see "The True Colors of Senator Jeff Sessions" by Shaunta Simone Williams). The people that voted "no" are making a bunch of excuses not to pass this Act. These people are giving America a bad name. First of all, I would love and proud to tell say that I supported the DREAM ACT for Immigrants all the way! I would like to say that every negative stereotype that was targeted
toward Latinos, Hispanics, Africans, and Asians are lies made up by the majority. Don't let the majority take away your spirit! I love all people and wish you life, liberty, and happiness. If the people voted "no" on the DREAM Act, that means that deep down, they are scared, and their true colors are showing. These people that voted "no" on the DREAM Act are scared that every negative stereotype that they said about immigrants for years are not true at all. Keep in mind that an educated minority is the majority's worst nightmare. The people that voted against the DREAM Act know with the DREAM Act, you can do anything when you put your mind to it. For years the majority though of African Americans as ignorant and lazy,
BUT years ago it was illegal for African Americans to read and write. Do you know why? Because back then the majority like to think of African Americans as ignorant, lazy, and stupid, eventhough we're not either of those things. Also, reading and writing changed things.Once you get those two things down pact, the sky is the limit! Education, from grade school to college, can change a person's life forver! EDUCATION IS FREEDOM! Most of all, the some people that are apart of the majority are afraid that they will become the minority in America! If the people vote "no" on the DREAM Act, it is because they want to continue to think of immigrants of all those negative stereotypes the majority placed on them for years! My immigrant brothers and sisters, keep on fighting! Keep on fighting for your right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness! As I said before, you deserve a chance to live a better life in America as well! Right now, deep down the people who voted "no" on the DREAM Act are afraid that you are out to prove them wrong, just like African Americans did in the past. As of today, some people of the majority are still pissed about that! America is changing, whether some people of the majority like it or not Conservatives, especially Senator Jeff Sessions and the rest of the people who voted "no" on the DREAM Act are living in a fantasy world.
