Deported for Trying to Join Marines

Issac Carbajal was brought to this country at the age of 5, and grew up in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a suburb of Portland.  He is an aspiring American.  He went to high school, and right before graduation was recruited on his high school campus by the Marines to serve his country.  When he showed up in San Diego to enlist in January 2011, he was instead deported to Mexico, dropped on the other side of the border with $18 in his pocket.  Senator Durbin went onto the Senate floor yesterday to highlight Issac's case, and the need for passage of the DREAM Act as part of the new immigration law being debated in the Senate.  The new law will help Issac achieve his dream of serving his country.  The time for a new law is now.
