Bullseye. Dead on the money.
The marketing of the DREAM Act is very consistent. They gather together the absolute cream of the crop and shove them in front of camera lenses. Then tales of hardship, dedication, perseverance and allegiance to American values are trumpeted about.
And the inference from these stories and all sorts of promotional videos is that there are legions of such like-situated invdividuals with similar credentials.
Here's reality: Illegal aliens like this nice young man,
who hold or will attain professional or graduate degrees from top 20 universities, are a tiny fraction of the millions who would be granted legal residency by the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act doesn't require that an illegal alien:
Have a H.S. diploma (GED's are accepted).
Attend a four year institution
Obtain a Bachelors or Associate Arts degree
Study a field or subject for which the U.S. currently has a need/shortage (i.e. Math, Nursing, etc.)
If the DREAM Act only legalized folks with this kid's credentials or the equivalent, we'd be talking about letting in MAYBE in the low five figures ... probably not even that. And if this was the case, the DREAM Act would've likely been passed years ago (presuming there was no chain migration).
