Eric Balderas is a DREAM student facing deportation proceedings. He is a Harvard student. Harvard president Drew Faust completely supports the DREAM Act, sign a letter calling politicians to have the DREAM Act as a stand alone bill.
America do you want to waste a talent like Balderas? If the politicians represent the will of the people, then, Balderas I feel for you, but the law is the law. Life is above all else. Above money, above power, above bickering between parties. Our politicians need to understand, the urgency of the issue. DREAM students can't afford to wait any longer.

They graduate high school with such promise, but its promise thats all. Some are lucky and pursue a college education. Many become professionals, but they are reduced to hard labor in order to survive. Pick onions under the hot Arizonan sun, frame houses with mechanical engineering degrees. America' greatness was not founded on the this. I listen every night on talk shows, don't they understand they are illegal. I ask them do you understand the harshness of reality outside the US. Don't you understand the adversity that DREAM students face? Don't you understand the improbability of a kid from Herecuaro, Guanajuato, Mexico obtaining a college education? When no-one is his family by all accounts no-one is his town obtain a college education.

I ask America, do you really afford to waste DREAM students when India and China graduate 4 engineers to your 1? DREAMers swear loyalty to America, because they are Amercans. When will human beings understand that home is where your heart is, not where you are born.

I fully support CIR above all else, but we have ran out of time. The DREAM Act is the only plausible legislation that will alleviate our situation. It will produce hope, it will be the first to the ultimate goal of equal rights. It will allow for the dreams of millions of parents to come true, their children having a chance at a life, that they only dream-pt of.

Senator Schumer, I am completely disgusted on how you handle the fasting and immigration reform meeting. If you want to know how DREAM students feel? What they think? Ask them, they where on your front step. Instead you denied their voice. You denied their existence, when you did not acknowledge their presence.

Once, we have the 60 senate votes you will support the DREAM Act as a stand alone? Why would we need you in that case. You are an elected official, who should fight for his people. Well here is your chance to step up to the plate and do what is just. The DREAM Act as a stand alone bill now, no more talking. No more denying our existence of the DREAM Act movement.
