What a horribly prejudiced and falsely grounded opinion piece. On what basis could anyone call a DREAM act would be "arrogant" or "unconstitutional"? These are just loaded terms meant to alarm people and have them react emotionally, instead of thinking things through. I also hate how conveniently certain truths are misrepresented. The University of Denver isn't giving undocumented students a lower tuition rate than American students. They're giving an opportunity only to undocumented youths who attended (for at least 3 years) and graduated from a Colorado high school, or obtained a GED in Colorado. They pay a reduced out of state tuition rate of $3,358.30, whereas the full tuition rate is $7,992. The writer forgot to mention that in state tuition for American students is only $2,152 per semester. It's up for debate whether these students, who no doubt have worked and contributed to the tax revenue of Colorado, deserve a reduced rate from out of state students who haven't contributed a cent to Colorado public schools. That's very different from saying that undocumented immigrants have a tuition advantage over U.S. born or naturalized Americans. Even the $6.2 Billion figure isn't the complete picture. What about the billions such youths have already contributed through revenue taxes, and would continue to do so if given legal status? Honestly, the entire article reads like the barely-concealed frustrations of an actual out-of-college American who couldn't get a job. I agree we're seeing tough times for students, but it's dishonest to push the blame on undocumented students, or say the problem will become worst if we're given a legal status. Honestly, in many cases people fail to think about their employment prospects when they choose a major. Times have changed greatly. In the past someone could major in French or Italian and still get a decent job because many positions didn't require a particular degree; they only cared that you attended university. This is hardly true anymore. As it happens, there are many opportunities right now. Most science and engineering based fields are seeing fantastic growth in job openings right now as the baby boomer generation begins to retire. Computer science is near the top of the curve too. Also, more than half of engineering/science PhD students in the United States are immigrants that came here through an H1B visa. They're only here because the native population isn't producing enough people interested in research. It's these graduate students who keep America competitive and give rise to new industries with their breakthroughs. I know I'm sort of preaching to the choir with this comment, but these sort of opinion pieces really bother me.

Hello everyone, I applied to DACA on August 17th 2012 (date the application was accepted) then I proceed attending the Bio-metrics appointment on September 22th 2012 today is February 1st 2013 and I haven't received nothing what so ever from USCIS no noticed no nothing... now I know this process is case by case... but still strange to know that is is taking so long, assuming I was part of the "1st wave" of applicants considering the date my application was accepted and in addition I haven't been involve in any crime, felony or anything related to that matter. I apologize in advance if I project myself as perhaps ... arrogant or impatient ... for lack of better word, but I cant help to humbly wonder ... How come is that this process taking this long? what is the actual average time? is there anyone else who can relate to my case? , thank you for your time, good luck ..V. (^.^) oh btw is in Nebraska

Let me just say that I knew my case was gonna get screwed up some how.Last night I received a letter to take my bios.Well the thing is I already took them on NOV 9 it was a walk in.My appointment was Nov 30.So I called USCIS this morning and I guess I just have to retake them because something went wrong.So here I am guys 54 days after my bios and now I have to start all ove.I was half way there well at least I thought.Trying to rely on my faith but all I can think off is "why me lord"? Pray for me peoples please.

No, bashing one another over team support, please! State the teams you support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- England -Preimer Leag => Liverpool Spain - La Liga => Barcelona (**clears throat**) Italy - Serie A => Juventus

What's your current status on your I-765 application lizzy?

These politicians need to look at a different point of view, regardless of our immigration status it'll make the roads safer. People still drive without a license and here in Illinois they're giving licenses to undocumented immigrants. Thank God there's people with common sense.

Moved to "questions and answers forum".

I have to idea but you figure their system would be top notch.I mean they just found out ? Its been more than 2 months

Thanks guys! I'm so glad I joined this group you guys always say the right thing

Some cases they ask for more evidence after 4 moths of waiting to get approve. But I hope you get your bios done soon and they aprovado you soon.

Yes but y so far into my case I was half way there.Why didn't they catch this SOONER? Makes me think my application was just sitting there collecting dust.Sorry I have to vent!

we had to live in the East Coast. smh we should've moved right after we finished Automotive school

Hi!, I received my card today in the mail, and i applied near the end of november! Don't give up it will be here in no time. (*today is jan 31)

I got to say, sometimes I break down and say F**k this eshi. But, at the end of the day, I always look at all the sad stories from around the world and be like It could be worse for me because most of the stories you hear are just sad. I could be in a city where there is constant war, no food to eat, or be in a situation where I don't have a place to call home. So, I end up telling myself that my life struggles are teaching me to become a better person than the average person. And, I do believe it made me a better person minus being too emotional. You just got to remember your situation could be worst and try to make the best out of little things and stay positive.

Okay this sounds fun: La Liga - Fc Barcelona. (My team since I was born & til I die) PL - Chelsea Bundesliga - Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund Serie A - Juventus.
