Letting the haters have it

After a few weeks of voting, the Dream Act leads among immigration causes in Change.org's Ideas for a Changing America campaign, with almost 1,000 votes.
To be precise, the Dream Act has 956 votes and is almost a lock to go to the final round. But it doesn't mean Dreamers are getting cocky, or stepping back in the debate, even if it means taking on lousy opposition.
So, despite a 956 to 5 vote lead, Free2be let the reactionary nativists have it over at DreamActivist. Total slam dunk:

First of all, there is NO LINE for most DREAMers, otherwise they would have been the first to sign up once they were aware of their status. The U.S. immigration system is a family-based and not a merit-based system, and therefore simply becomes luck of the draw. In general, if you have no family connections, then there is no line for you. Some people act as if undocumented students and people willingly choose to be undocumented out of laziness and disregard for the proper process, and that is simply a blatant and bold faced lie.

One cannot continue to complain about the problem of unauthorized immigration without offering both effective and efficient solution to a very deep-rooted problem. A fence is only a physical barrier that addresses the symptoms of the issue and not the true cause. Also, a fence assumes that the problem only lies with the country the fence is attempting to keep out, and does not take into account that unauthorized immigration is an international problem, and that DREAMers hail from 6 continents and a multitude of different countries.

If a troubled single dad decided to rob a bank for money, and takes his small child with him as a distraction, if the man is caught and arrested, is the child normally arrested also? If the man is tried and sentenced, is the child also sent to jail for committing the offense of being an accomplice to the crime?

pwned!
