GALLERY OVERVIEW

A DREAM deferred

Undocumented students and allies suffered anoth- er setback on the path to pass the DREAM Act Tuesday night when the legislation was blocked in the U.S. Sen- ate, after a Republican-led fillibuster . The act creates a path to conditional permanent resi- dency for undocumented immigrants under the age of 36 who came to the U.S. before they were 16. To obtain residency, the immigrants must have attended college or served in the military for two years and be of “good mor- al character.” The DREAM Act is important to consider in terms of so- cial justice, but beyond that, it’s also a crucial tool to con- tribute to an educated work force, especially in Texas. Unfortunately, both U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, voted . The DREAM Act was tacked on as an amendment to a de- fense spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, along with a provision repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Both senators avoided discussing the DREAM Act when justifying the filibuster; instead they just blasted the Democrats’ legislative tactics. Hutchinson criticized Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for “attaching important and unrelated” issues to the legislation, and Cornyn called these legislative tactics an “insult to millions of Americans.” Both Hutchinson and Cornyn declare the necessity of comprehensive immigration reform, but their actions block- ing the passage of the DREAM Act tell a different story. Af- ter all, what could be a more solid first step toward reform- ing the U.S. immigration system then offering the most ed- ucated immigrants a chance to stay in the U.S.?

Shocked and appalled I am so shocked by Wednesday’s column, “Take responsibility for Mexico’s tragedy,” that I hardly know where to begin. First, GALLERY how did we “create a neighbor so desperately poor”? I guess we went and pillaged them Poncho Villa-style. No wait, they did that. Well maybe we invaded them and overloaded their welfare sys- tem. Well no, another reversal. Ok, I know, we became the major- ity of offenders in their criminal system so that we sent their jails beyond capacity. No again! No, the only thing we “did” to Mexico while there was spend money through tourism. I can’t fathom the arrogant ignorance of this article. What’s even better is that the writer would probably denounce the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as unjust while they seem to think it our responsibility to take care of Mexico. What a fool the author is and whomever would follow the line of (I hesitate to use the word) reasoning that the author used. I will conclude with this: Has the author ever used illegal nar- cotics? Because, if so, he is the one to take the blame. To accuse the American people who have spent billions in the fight against illegal drugs for damaging Mexico is to spit in the face of what we stand for. If you refuse to publish this, I expect an e-mail explaining why.

Stop financing the cartels I couldn’t agree more with Jonathan Rienstra’s column in Wednesday’s paper, “Take responsibility for Mexico’s tragedy.” I’ve seen so many lives completely ruined by drug abuse and have heard of so many more lost due to drug cartel violence. To say that using illicit drugs is a “victimless crime” is outrageous and absurd. As the old saying goes, “No man is an island,” and those whose money has been financing drug cartel activities have the blood of innocent people on their hands. Illicit drugs are not worth it. They are not worth the danger they pose to the user, or to the innocent people who get in the way of the cartels.
