DREAM Act is alive – Call-in Today

March 26 is D-Day.

Major immigration organizations are coming together for passage of the DREAM Act this year.

NCLR has a call alert that people can type their zip codes into and use for tomorrow’s call in effort.

FIRM has lent its text messaging system to immigrant youth activists while America’s Voice is gearing up for fax blasts.

In the blogosphere, Citizen Orange gives us some vital reading:

The Politics of the DREAM Act: Laying the Groundwork For Migration Reform

Our biggest drawback is that we have the support in numbers but we don’t call-in to Congress as much as a few trained extremists. Congress responds to ‘hate calls’ from nativists because that is all the other side has on us–hate and extremism.

We will force you out to go back to your own countries. We real Americans are not going to pay for your dreams anymore. You have abused our good natures way too long and now we are defiant.

-”Red-blooded American”

And here we thought that all people were “red-blooded.” Look beyond a piece of paper and a 9-digit number; when we bleed, we bleed the same. The hatred, xenophobia and ignorance is apparent in this message we received. Besides the fact that we won’t be forced to leave our homes, immigrant youth have neither abused American citizens nor would the DREAM Act force anyone to pay for our college dreams. But that is what we are up against.

There are no real warrants to oppose the DREAM Act. Make sure you, your friends and families call in this year to support the effort.
