One recipe for wisdom is experience mixed with reflection. That’s why it’s important to consider the past when we’re making decisions. As we form opinions and encourage Congress to vote on the DREAM Act, we would be wise to reflect upon lessons learned from a past immigration bill with an important similarity to the DREAM

America is witnessing a new phase in the U. S. immigration world: state laws which allow local enforcement to act as federal agents and directly enforce federal immigration laws. Many debates are emerging as to why states like Alabama should enact these types of laws. Those in favor claim it is simply to preserve jobs

Este artículo tratará sobre otras medidas que no son políticas para ayudar aquellos jóvenes que se encuentran indocumentados. El Acto Sueño es una ley humanitaria que podría ayudar a millones de estos jóvenes que, desafortunadamente, depende de la política. La medida que proponen ciertos líderes tiene que ver con el proceso de adopción familiar, o sea, que una persona que es un residente permanente o ciudadano estadounidense adopte a un joven indocumentado para inmigrarlo.

En Texas, por ejemplo, una persona adulta puede adoptar a un joven siempre y cuando los padres biológicos de joven están de acuerdo con la adopción.

You demonstrated it by co-sponsoring the Immigration Reform law in 2006 with Senator Ted Kennedy.
As a Hispanic, I respect and honor your contributions to this country. My own father fought in the Pacific in World War II. He was a veteran who went through hell. He spoke to me about it often. So I believe I understand what you went through.

John McCain, I still have a profound respect for you. Please reconsider your position.

El propósito del tema de hoy es alertar a los miembros de la comunidad del norte de Texas, de la gran necesidad de luchar contra todos los esfuerzos políticos que beneficiarían a la comunidad de inmigrantes hispanos. El único modo de hacerlo es ejerciendo nuestro derecho de votar de todos aquellos que somos ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos que estamos registrados para votar en nuestro estado. No importa para quién votamos. Lo importante es demostrar nuestra fuerza electoral ante un ambiente en el cual grupos anti-inmigrantes desean restringir la inmigración, utilizando argumentos como la “sobre población”, “el aumento de crimen”, y la “perdida de la cultura anglosajona” que predomina en los EE.UU. Son temas que están afectando nuestros derechos civiles.
