  DREAMer Guest Post: Mohammed

  Dear Mo,
  Thanks for sharing your story. It was brave of you.
  As a US Citizen with immigrant parents who are now also citizens, I emphatize with your struggle to gain status.
  Immigrant families, much like yours and mine, work hard, pay their taxes, send their kids to school and contribute civically to their communities. 
  Contrary to myth and speculation, undocumented workers do NOT take other people's jobs. Silly people. Doesn't our current recession make it obvious that corporate greed and division of classes depletes jobs for working people.
  
  Also, undocumented families DO NOT have the same rights as citizen families. Undocumented Students don't qualify for scholarships, financial aid or fellowship programs.
  Because of a broken immigration system, undocumented students do not have a way to adjust their status. The Dream Act will create a venue for students to adjust their status through a fair and ardous process where students who work hard, have good moral character, and enroll in college can adjust their status.
  The Dream Act does not hurt students like myself who were born in this country. Rather, I am proud to be in the same classroom with students from other cultures who can share their global perspectives of the world. I am happy to compete with other students in educational programs because I'm confident in my education and can learn from others.
