If these young people are so brilliant...

...why don't they obtain LEGAL status instead of fighing the system?

The Dream Act:
(CNN) -- Yesterday was a tough day to be a DREAMer.

The Senate voted to not move on the defense authorization bill with the DREAM Act as one of the amendments. For most political commentators, the vote was a death sentence, and media outlets carried the obituaries with such headlines as: "DREAM Act dies with rejection of defense bill."

But there's a funny thing about dreams -- the only people who can kill them are the people who have them. And I am writing here to tell you, on behalf of the more than one million young people who would be affected by the DREAM Act, that its death is greatly exaggerated.

In the past month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has emerged as the greatest champion of the DREAM Act, which would allow young undocumented immigrants like me, who were brought here as children, a pathway to citizenship through college education or military service.

My own story? I've been in the United States since I was 7 years old in 1993, when I emigrated from Ecuador with my family and settled in Miami, Florida. I consider myself to be an all-American girl. I was part of the ROTC program during high school, and after graduation wanted to enlist in the Air Force. Because of my undocumented status, I could not. But I went to college and now hold a bachelor's degree in special education. I'm pursuing a master's in public policy. There are many others like me.

clip:
Many of us have gotten arrested in legislative offices, camped out in front of the White House, and even some, like me, walked 1,500 miles from Miami to our nation's capital to educate people about our struggle as undocumented youth. We are a movement now, and we will not rest until we reach our goal.

With all of her wisdom and she can't figure out how to become a legal! These folks piss me off. I wonder where she got her money to attend college? I wonder if she pays for any insurance, taxes, medical expenses.
