Reader supports Rep. Warnick, Dream Act

| March 29, 2013 6:00 AM

I appreciated the Dream Act article in the CBH. I wholeheartly agree with Rep. Judy Warnick's support for this issue. I absolutely feel that when someone willfully breaks a law then penalties and punishments are warranted and appropriate. Children brought here had no choice and in my view should not be treated differently from any other student or labeled illegals which infers criminal activity. Obviously they have worked hard to do well in school or they would not be applying for college admission. Also I feel strongly that there is a place for compassion in decision making of our public officials. How many of us have ever had to sheepishly try to explain an "honest" mistake, or have ever hoped the police officer would just give us a warning when we slightly exceeded the speed limit?
