      <![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading this article. When I was in college, I spent a lot of time trying to help a friend of mine (brought to the US as a baby by his parents. no papers) get access to college and there were no options for him. None. We couldn't even get him a library card because it required a social security number. Forget legitimate work, it wasn't possible.<br>
<br>
We even went to see an immigration lawyer who told us that there's no clear path to citizenship and the old belief that all you have to do is marry an American to become legal is bull crap. It doesn't work that way anymore.<br>
<br>
Years and lots of money later, he finally got his green card. He works two jobs and recently enrolled in college so that his child can have a better life than he had.<br>
<br>
These kids who have worked just as hard if not harder than their American counterparts deserve a chance to better themselves. And I think you'll see that when you give these kids that chance that EVERYONE in our society benefits.

      <![CDATA[By not allowing these students to pursue higher education at an afforable cost (the same in state tuition which their high school classmates receive) we are creating a cycle of poverty.  So many of these students want to be successful and keep finding barriers and road blocks.  Deferred Action is a first step, but these students need to be able to access a college education and the higher paying jobs that are the result of their hard work.

      <![CDATA[When a nation has the kind of problems the United States has it's because many of its people are using their country for selfish purposes; politicians such as Barack Obama and the Democratic Party are just symptoms of that selfishness, because they are using immigration for party building instead of nation building!<br>
<br>
Obama and the Democrats are leading the US into a sovereign debt crisis that will be followed by a Second Great Depression. This economic crisis is on track and cannot be stopped! Regardless if the congress legislates an amnesty for illegal aliens they will not be able to stay. <br>
<br>
It's during the coming crisis that millions of illegals and even legal immigrants will have to return home because of hyper-unemployment, homelessness, hunger and chaos in America's cities. <br>
<br>
If they go now they have the chance to find work to survive the crisis. If they stay until the crisis begins they will have nothing here and nothing when they eventually have to return anyway! In the end the selfishness of the Democratic Party will have done them far more harm by encouraging them to stay than the people who want to defend the borders!
