"No youth should be barred from pursuing their dreams if they are willing to work hard. That is the basis of the DREAM Act. Each year it doesn't pass, another estimated 70,000 undocumented students graduate from high school with little hope for higher education. Ten years adds up to a lost generation."

Is this really what we want? A generation of hardworking students who have the desire, the drive, the willingness to do great things for America, students who believe themselves to be American in every sense of the word but who are denied of the basic American rights? We need something like the DREAM Act now!!!
The DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act) is a bipartisan legislation that would allow certain students who currently do not have a legal status in the United states to gain a pathway to residency and eventually citizenship. Unlike any sort of immigration bill, the DREAM Act would only benefit those students that were brought to the United States before the age of 16, have lived in the U.S. for at least five continuous years, and who have graduated from high school and are pursuing a college education. There are A LOT of requirements to this bill, contrary to what many people believe.
We are talking about students who graduate at the top of their class, athletes, leaders, students who want to make a difference in their communities! Why not give them that chance? Personally, I think that not being able to go to college because of your legal status is ridiculous. I believe anyone should have the right to better themselves and to contribute to society!

Here are 8 reason's why we need to pass the Dream Act THIS YEAR!!!!

The DREAM Act has been introduced in Congress for 10 years now without making it to the President's desk. One of Obama's promises was to work for the Dream...let's see if he keeps his word.
