"...and just how old are you now?  15? 16?"

What does the above, have to do with the theme of the forum?

What does the below have to do with the theme of the forum?

"Should America have gun control?"

"What is a 17 year old kid, participating in a debate, when he's not old enough to own a gun of his own?"

"mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… It's to make YOU shut up and stop saying I'm an pro-gun extremist and "empowered" because I own a firearm, when I can't."

"No wonder, you " debate" the way that you do, it's apparently a joke to your 17 year old self?"

"No, it's because you keep going off topic with unrelated questions and links. Nothing to do with my age, idiot." 

Name calling, isn't a part of the debate process, is it, Zombieguy1987? 

@WordsMatter

"to what degree does geographical distance affect moral obligation?"

What does your question have to do with this forum?

@John_C_87

"Neither, just trying to figure out translate how you are right. The Amendment's on United States Constitution have little to do with amendments made of legal independence? How is that suppose to work? Where is the connection made? You do it with guns, you do it with people, really how is that suppose to work?
 It is like say we are going to save lives by changing speed limit to save but make car that travel 8 times the speed limit. Save lives by removing cell phones but ignore the car ratio.

There is no realistic goal set in constitution for the limit of law to set a purpose to ever work. It is a political negotiation for the creation of work."

What does your above points of view have to do with the theme of the forum:

"Should America have gun control?"

"Dream Act Is Approved in N.Y. to Aid Undocumented Students, in Rebuke to Trump

The newly emboldened Democratic-led New York State Legislature waded into the battle over immigrants’ rights on Wednesday, approving a bill that for the first time offers undocumented students access to state financial aid and scholarships for higher education.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has confirmed he will sign the measure into law.

The Dream Act is the latest in a wave of state-level protections for immigrants as blue state legislatures increasingly seek to act as a counterbalance to President Trump’s federal immigration policies. These issues are also expected to play a prominent role in the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential primary, with candidates who are courting liberal activists supporting the state measures.

After New York Democrats won control of the State Senate in November for the first time in a decade, protections for immigrants became a legislative priority. They included permitting undocumented residents to obtain state driver’s licenses and reducing maximum jail sentences for certain misdemeanors that could otherwise lead to deportation.

“It took us almost a decade to get the Dream Act, and it’s going to take another five, 10, 20 years to undo the damage that Washington is causing our families,” said Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz of Queens, who was born in Colombia and came to New York as an undocumented child. 

Even as the bill gained passage, the New York Immigration Coalition and other advocates were pushing for lawmakers to “dream bigger” and address issues like expanded funding for immigrant legal services and health care for immigrants.

All these measures, lawmakers say, could act as a bulwark against Republican efforts in Washington and the ongoing standoff over the nation’s southern border.

“The election of Trump and the fact that he made immigration a central theme of his presidency has made immigration a more prominent issue at the state level,” said Muzaffar Chishti, the director of the Migration Policy Institute at the New York University School of Law. “In some ways, blue states are now competing with each other to provide a higher level of protection to immigrants.”

The New York bill will affect an estimated 146,000 young people who were educated in New York public schools but have been ineligible to receive financial aid under federal and state law, according to analysis by the New York State Youth Leadership Council and N.Y.U. Law School’s Immigrant Rights Clinic.

“These young undocumented immigrants will work, they will pay taxes, they will buy products, and the greater earning capacity they have the more taxes they will pay,” said Democratic State Sen. Luis Sepúlveda. “This is one piece of legislation where we must get beyond the anti-immigration fervor created by President Trump and see the benefits educating these young people has for our state.”

But many Republicans say that the measure diverts funds away from legal residents and comes at the expense of taxpayers.

“How am I supposed to tell families in my Senate district that adequate state aid to help afford college isn’t available for them, but it is available for others who are in this country illegally?” said Republican State Sen. James Seward.

The move on financial aid for undocumented immigrants comes during a week in which the Legislature and Governor Cuomo continued to make headway on a list of liberal measures that had long been blocked while Republicans controlled the State Senate for most of the last decade."

I wonder, where are the interviews with some of the citizens in the state of NY, who maybe disagreed with this new "Dream Act" becoming a law? 

Where are the supporting (Studies, Polls, or Surveys) that were conducted, that shows their supporting numbers?
