when it's in your face

yesterday, as the protests continued and houston schools started to empty, i finally finally started my education...what is the dream act...what is being debated in the house and the senate?
i admit with shame that i'm no politician, no great activist or follower of current events. but i am a teacher, and this i know. if some man is fool enough to build a fence, my students will climb it. they will set fire to it. they will dig holes through it or under it or around it, because a fence is an insult, a symbol, and nothing more.
