]]> Comment on UTSA screening Beyond Borders by Maria http://murodelodio.wordpress.com/2008/04/18/utsa-screening-beyond-borders/#comment-29 Maria Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:07:44 +0000 http://murodelodio.wordpress.com/?p=75#comment-29 Hi, My name is Maria and I am a DREAM Act beneficiary. I arrived in this country at the young age of 12, with my parents, from Peru. I am now 21 years old and undocumented. I have grown up in the United States and consider this country my only home. If sent back to Peru, I would be banned from the U.S. for 10 years and the chances of coming back are slim to none. I graduated from high school in 2004 and since then, it has been difficult for me to continue my education as a result of my status. The DREAM Act would help me, and students in my situation, realize our dreams of becoming active members of society by allowing us to attend school or join the military. Currently, there is an active project on CHANGE.ORG, a website that will present the top 10 ideas that it generates to the Obama administration upon its inauguration. DreamACTivist.org has presented the idea “Pass the DREAM Act Now” (http://www.change.org/ideas/view/pass_the_dream_act_now) and it has gathered enough support to make it to the second round. YOUR BLOG is the most invaluable tool you have in order to help us, Starting January 5th, the voting polls will re-open for the second round. We will ONLY have 10 days to gather as many votes and support as possible in order to become one of the top 10 ideas that will be presented to the Obama administration. There will be a widget that you can post on your website to allow readers to vote for our cause, as well as tell their friends to do so as well. Also consider voting for the other immigration ideas that made it to the second round, as they also need your support. This project is of extreme importance and your prompt participation is greatly appreciated. Also, DreamACTivist and the United We DREAM Coalition will be launching a website on January 21 (www.dreamact2009.com) that will become a 65,000 petition drive for the DREAM Act, signifying the 65,000 undocumented students that would benefit from this act each year. Please visit http://dreamactivist.org/petition for more information and consider joining our efforts to make the DREAM Act a reality in 2009. Please, don’t hesitate to contact me with further questions at maria@dreamactivist.org In solidarity, Maria M. Co-Founder of DreamACTivist.org Hi,

We are blessed to see these sunsets almost daily. We love Del Rio, Acuna and the Mexican people. Please don't ruin our relationship with them. Sure there are lots of bad ones but lots of bad Americans also! My family and I have lived in Del Rio, Texas for 35 years and love the border. We are blessed to see these sunsets almost daily.
