DREAM Act (D.R.E.A.M ACT)

What is the Dream Act?

DREAM stands for - Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors
This bill was first introduced to the Senate in 2001 and it recently hit the headlines, in 2011, as California's Governor Brown took action.(AB130 and AB131)
 
Under the DREAM act illegal alien students who show good conduct and graduate from a US high school will be allowed permanent residency and financial aid for higher education. These aliens must have presided in the United States for five continuous years prior to the bill's enactment. The bill will allow these aliens to "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or has completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States" or have "served in the armed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge".

These are the requirements for the beneficiaries of this bill under the 2008 Senate Bill:

• Have proof of having arrived in the United States before age 16^.
• Have proof of residence in the United States for at least five consecutive years since their date of arrival.
• If male, Have registered with the Selective Service.
• Be between the ages of 12 and 30 at the time of bill enactment.
• Have graduated from an American high school, obtained a GED, or have been admitted to an institution of higher education.
• Be of "good moral character"

These requirements seem to be extremely vague, such as the "good moral character". Who is to determine if an illegal alien meets these requirements? How easy is it for someone who is illegally in the United States to say that they were in the US before the age of 16?

In 2011  California's Governor Brown signed the CA version assembly bill of the Dream Act allowing students who are illegal immigrant to obtain access to scholarships in their pursue of state schools of higher education. Governor Brown says that "Going to college is a dream that promises intellectual excitement and creative thinking ... The Dream Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us."

Will The United States Continue To Sell Arms to Taiwan?

Credit: On Tonight Blog and Toondoo

The grudge between Communist China and Nationalist Taiwan continues to be a grueling issue of the world stage. Barack Obama has brought the United States into the mist of this international dispute. The United States is continuing to sell military arms to Taiwan, as an assistance for defense against mainland China. China is showing a dirty eye because the U.S is selling arms China's rival but also maintaining an economic relation with them. Just recently Obama agreed to refurbished some of Taiwan's F-16s, China officials have shown some objections towards this issue. F-16s are fighter jets made for the United States Air Force. Some political figures of the United States argue that United States should discontinue the sell of arms to Taiwan in order to maintain a feasible economic relationship with China.

No matter how much assistance the United States gives to Taiwan, it will still a small island off the coast of mainland China. Taiwan can never compete with China's army, world largest, and nuclear weapons. Obama's decision to refurbish the F-16s was only a political gesture and China doesn't seem to have taken great offense. Since China still hold 36% of all U.S securities, no possible international dispute will break out 

over this minute issue.

If the United States decides to back out of supporting Taiwan with military arms, democracy in that part of Asia will be in jeopardy. It is possible that the disputed island of Taiwan will be taken by Communist China to out rule Democracy. It is only beneficial for the U.S and for democracy to continue to influence that part of Asia and limit political ideology of China. As China continues to hold the world's largest army, the world can easily understand that China's interest is to grow both politically and economically.

Cartoon idea comes from the Economist article about the United States and Taiwan.
