<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; With all the focus of attention on the ballpark issue in Escondido being on financial matters, little attention has been given to the much larger issue of the environment that exists in this city. Since the passage of the infamous and illegal rental ban ordinance, the city council has been obsessed with making the lives of undocumented people as miserable as possible. And even though some of these policies affect American citizens, they continue with a zeal that makes Escondido a divided and unhealthy place.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Quiero rendir tributo a los Soñadores que tomaron las riendas de su causa y con su liderazgo, valentía y tesón lograron lo que muchos creían imposible: una histórica aprobación del proyecto DREAM Act en la Cámara de Representantes y con ello, la posibilidad real de impulsar la medida en el Senado para cruzar la meta.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This coming week, if Senator Harry Reid keeps his word, Congress may get a chance to vote on the DREAM Act. First introduced in 2003, the bill would allow undocumented students graduating from a U.S. high school to apply for permanent residence if they complete two years of college or serve two years in the U.S. military. Estimates are that it would enable over 800,000 young people to gain legal status, and eventual citizenship.</p>
