The dream of the Convention was born from the that children and their needs were not been considered when policies were being made, laws passed or actions undertaken.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The DREAM Act was intended to benefit illegal immigrants who were brought here as children, the most sympathetic subset among our large illegal immigrant population.
The Dream Act as it's been written originally is too broad, to be honest. It basically would apply to too many people.
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
I dream for a world which is free of child labour, a world in which every child goes to school. A world in which every child gets his rights.
Dreams seem to have a will of their own.
I'm for the DREAM Act. It makes so much sense. Following the implementation of the DREAM Act, we'll have a case study we can point to where we can say that we provided a path to citizenship or legal involvement in the community for these young immigrants, and the sky didn't fall.
You well know, sir, that when the Constitution was submitted to the People of the respective States for their adoption or rejection, it awakened the warmest debates of the several State conventions.
Marriage and the creation of families has been an integral part of our society since its creation; it should not be defined without the kind of involvement by the people which a constitutional process would require.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Thus the Convention is unequivocal in its call for children to be consulted, to have their opinions heard and to have their best interests considered when law and policies are being drafted.
