[Blindtlk] Information about dreamers needed

[Cindy Ray]

Erica, I think people who come here legally do not pay bribes to officials
to get here. Some of the people who don't come legally do, but be it all as
it may, these are desperate money situations. I am not going to say more
about this because this is an incorrect forum, but I believe if we were here
always, if we came legally, we need to have compassion for the blind young
people who are here and have never known another country and could be
deported. When you are deported, there is a disgrace stigma attached to it.
So not only would you go to a country you never knew, but you would go there
with a sense o shame that you couldn't even understand. Anyhow, as I said
before, this is not a question to be debated in this forum.

Laz, I have a friend who came when she was three years old with her family
from Ecuador. She did not find out she was not a naturalized citizen until
she was in her 20s. I don't know if her parents and siblings came legally or
not but her parents did not know about signing papers to make their children
legal citizens after they came. She had to take the citizenship test orally
because she could not read the trench and she did not know braille.
Thankfully she has a citizen, but she could have been one of those sent
back. She lived in Chicago most of her childhood. She came in the 70s but
can you imagine coming here at two or three years old with no language of
any sort really at that age trying to understand the world? Kids 15 and
under coming here I don't really have a choice. Lots of cultures don't give
kids choices like we do here in the family structure is very different bank.
They are very family oriented to the point where they live all together
under one roof trying to survive.  

How old were you in 1965? Not every parent has the ability to do it legally.
I think times have changed on these countries so much that the poor are
leaving illegally because they can't afford to pay the bribes to corrupt
officials to get out of their country and here legally. 

I how many of us American born citizens could pass the naturalization tests.
I hear they are very difficult. And it costs a lot of money to become a
citizen. It takes seven years from applying for citizenship to actually
being naturalized.
