With all of the sympathetic and bleeding hearts for the Dreamers who were brought into the U.S. illegally by, I assume, illegally arrived parents, why has no one asked where the parents are now?
Have they been deported?
Have they become citizens or are they just being overlooked?
I have read nothing about them.
As for the Dreamers, have they or could they have done anything about applying for citizenship in the years they have been here. I am using the collective pronoun as everyone seems to be referring to Dreamers as a collective group of exceptional human beings who are becoming or desire to become well educated, hard working
assets to the U.S.
Even if the Dreamers were the cream of the human crop, why are they to be given preferential treatment over the hard working young people who happen to be born in the United States and would also like to be able to go to college and be treated as exceptional?
What is the criteria for choosing these particular individuals for special treatment? Is it because we feel sorry that they did not ask for the situation in which they find themselves … Who has?
Now, areas across the U.S. including Hidalgo County do not want the legal residency of anyone to be questioned on the upcoming census forms?
These illegals are users of resources, and those resources, according to Hidalgo County and other areas need to be
replenished through federal or state funds which will not be available if all people are not counted.
My question is, if the country is aware of the residency of illegals, and they have not deported them, why should the citizens of the U.S. be held accountable for the county’s negligence in carrying out its legal responsibility.
As a side note. We have neglected people relegated to bleak lands who would love to be treated as exceptional people or even remembered people. That group is called American Indians.
Have our emotions overruled our observance and adherence to the law?
Sincerely, Norma Christian, Raymondville
