  DREAMer Guest Post: Piash

  My mom is Native American and my dad is half Puerto Rican and half Irish and Native American, but my Irish great-grandfather came here legally and my Puerto Rican grandfather was a citizen so he was legal too. But people seem to think that it is okay to just walk into America and demand rights that we Americans don't even get. Which is why I think that people shouldn't come here and expect us to be just like them and learn their languages. What's the point of coming here if you don't want to be apart of the society?
  
  Then, people seem to think that by calling people like you an "undocumented American or alien" that that changes that you are illegal. Your parents broke the law, and I think you should go back to your country and come back here legally, that would be the best thing to do in my mind. You are not an American citizen or a legal immigrant so you shouldn't be here and Rutgers was right in not giving scholarhips to someone who is illegal even though it isn't your fault. I don't think you should be blamed for your parents mistakes but you also shouldn't be here.
