If they lie on their application they could be subject to immediate deportation. Since they have to graduate from a US high school, it would be pretty easy to gather information.What's to prevent someone from lying about who they are and how long they've bee here to join the service and gain citizenship? Even citizens are no longer able to join the service as an alternative to jail time- why should those who are here illegally be given an opportunity to evade our laws when our own citizens are denied such opportunities to clear their records and start anew as productive members of society?
I cannot justify giving illegals preference over our own citizens.
I vote nay.
I have never understood the reason why so many people oppose the bill
(1) entered the United States before his or her 16th birthday and has been present in the United States for at least five years immediately preceding this Act's enactment;
Amnesty is a pardon for committing an offense. Since the beneficiaries of the act were brought here as children, I don't consider this amnesty. It is the parents that violated the law not the children. It makes no sense to punish the children for the actions of their parents unless you believe the children are responsible for the sins of the parents.I have never understood the reason why so many people oppose the bill
I believe I explained my position clearly in the post you quoted. I suspect many others share the same concerns. Also, this continues a pattern of amnesty which encourages illegal entry into our nation as there is every reason to believe your turn at amnesty and reward will come.

We are not creating a reward but rather an opportunity for these kids to serve the country and to make something of themselves.Amnesty is a pardon for committing an offense.

It makes even less sense to reward them for the offense of their parents. Reward them and here come more parents with more "innocent" children. Just stop it now.

Nope.
Not young enough, not long enough.
A person who entered the USA before 8 years old, and have lived here at least ten years ect ect ect...
The above would be my minimum candidate for this kind of dream act.
Alternatively, anybody who honorably served in the US military (I think 4 years sounds about right) ought to be elible for citizenship.

BTW - Colleges and tech schools do not deny anyone an education. They just have to pay non residence tuition just like many American kids. We are paying double to send our son to a PA school. Its bullshit.
