[quote=deadzone]Illegals can’t serve in the military. Not sure why everyone keeps mentioning military service as a criteria for Dream Act. I know it sounds nice but the problem with Dream Act and Obama’s current policy change is that it is mostly political sount bites. I will agree that in theory some type of Dream Act makes sense but the Devil is in the details.
Your list misses the most important point which is Workplace enforcement via E-verify or some other mechanism. I think that is one aspect that almost everybody agrees on regardless of political side.
I don’t think it is obvious that a guest worker program is necessary with the possible exception of agriculture, in which case a guest worker program already exists.[/quote]
I aleady referred to that as “up enforcement at the work place.” I didn’t mention e-verify specifically because that is just one of the many tools ICE can use.
some people like to find common grounds. others like accentuate minor differences.
