These highly educated students should go with their families back to Mexico and use their pricey US education (one wonders how they are financing it now; undoubtedly through US taxpayer largesse)and work to improve their own country, thus avoiding the fear of separation from their families.

The DreamAct is nothing but another form of amnesty. Americans will NEVER accept another amnesty. The children of illegal aliens have cost our nation BILLIONS! American kids have suffered due to ESL classes taking vital resources away from our own children. Many of these illegal students have received free lunches and in state tuition fees while American citizens pay the higher fees. SHAME! The Dream Act is a nightmare for Americans. Anyone supporting it is a traitor. Any politician voting for it will be removed from office. ILLEGAL ALIENS GO HOME! Take your illegal alien kids with you!

Here is a bit of my story.
I was bought to the US when I was 14 with my mother because she had a fight with my father. I worked hard through high school in the dream that I will be accept to a good University. However, I learned at the age of 17 that I wasn't able to go to college because my mother and I visa had expired. Through many efforts to renew her work visa, she was denied. However, she didn't want to go back because the fight with my father and I was still in high school. So, my mother and I continue to stay in US. Years later, I finished high school and I was able to continue my study at University of Massachusetts of which I graduated last year in 2009. Currently, I am a graduate student at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. (How do I apply to college? Well I use my mother SSN)
Now, I am 25 years old and my mother is a green card holder because she divorced and remarried with my step father when I was 21. Nonetheless, there is no way that under the current law for me to obtain a green card through family or it could be 10 years before I can come back. Thus, I am living with both of them in our house here in Massachusetts and I work in our own business because I can not legally work outside.
I also have a brother who have legal student visa studying at Northeastern University in Massachusetts.
