And why do people try to hide the fact that immigration enforcement is going beyond just violating immigrant's rights?

----------------------------------------
It's about a courageous young woman without a country -- and the tens of thousands like her -- who would be helped by a little piece of legislation called the DREAM Act.

Tam Tran is her name, and though she graduated from UCLA with honors, she is not allowed to do a day's work in this country -- or any other. See, Tam's parents fled the brutal communist regime in Vietnam. Like her brother, Tam was born in Germany and grew up in the United States, where her parents applied for asylum. When the US rejected the family's case, Germany wouldn't take them back, and Tam was trapped in limbo.

Tam is just one of the tens of thousands of "kids without a country," who live in constant fear of deportation to a nation they have never known. The DREAM Act would help change that.

The thing is, Tam's story doesn't end there. Despite the risks of speaking out about her situation, Tam couldn't remain silent. She organized on her campus, testified before Congress, and was interviewed for USAToday. Well, the Bush-era ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Agency didn't approve. Shortly after being quoted in USAToday, ICE agents busted into Tam's family's home. ICE shackled Tam's parents and threatened them with deportation -- even though they had applied for asylum!
Is it time for the Dream Act 2009?
 
Because many of us will struggle to send our own children to college. Why should we pay for those who shouldn't be here, whose education K thru 12 we were already forced to subsidize?

If she really had a good case she'd get asylum, so I suspect you are leaving something out.
 
Bogus story if she was born in Germany her parents probably were given asylum there first and so the US won't offer it because germany isn't a country that you would ned asylum from. I was with a women who escaped from Vietnam and she worked for Hughes aircraft after graduatin from Cal Poly. This Dreamact is just a ploy to give illegals a free education on our taxes. If they aren't here legally they don't get the benefits accorded to citizens.
