We, the undersigned, ask Congress and the President to enact the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act is a bipartisan proposal, which would create a pathway to citizenship for thousands of young students who were brought to the United States years ago as children. If Congress fails to act this year, another entire class of outstanding, law-abiding high school students will graduate without being able to plan for the future, and some will be removed from their homes to countries they barely know. This tragedy will cause America to lose a vital asset: an educated class of promising immigrant students who have demonstrated a commitment to hard work and a strong desire to be contributing members of our society.

I hope they pass this, I have to many friends that are trying to learn and are going to be restricted from pursuing a higher education.The fact that they also need jobs to care and try to provide for their families makes this even worse.
As a teacher of many bright, motivated, immigrant children, I see a huge need for this legislation to be implemented. It breaks my heart to see these kids work so hard and achieve so much and have no promise for the opportunities afforded to their peers.
i think we should support the cream act because all we want is an education and a better life.
My boyfriend was brought to the US illegally as a baby. He has been fighting for his green card ever since the legal age of 18. He graduated high school, has paid his taxes every year, and maintains his job as a skilled electrician. He is now 27 years old and cannot move on with his life and start a real career until this law passes. He has spent thousands of dollars for immigration fines, lawyers fee, etc. Please fight for this.
Ive been wanting to join the USMC ever since 9/11. even though i was to young to join back then the day i turned 18 i went to enlist and i was denied because i was and illegal immigrant. ive been living in this country since i was 4 years old, now im 21 i cant get a job, i cant go to college or join the USMC(first priority). Even though i was born in Mexico, i was raised in the USA.
i support the dream act 100% due to the capability that many illegal students can provide for the country.

I'VE WAS BORN IN MEXICO 1985. IN THE YEAR OF 1989 MY MOM BROUGHT ME TO THE UNITED STATES I WAS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. DIDN'T KNOW Y I WAS HERE ALL I REMEMBER WAS THAT I WANT TO GO HOME WHICH WAS MEXICO. NOW I HAVE 22 YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES WITH TWO KIDS, FINISH HIGH SCHOOL,AND HAVE A JOB THAT I CAN BEARLY AFFORD IN PAYING BILLS AND RENT. I HAD A CHANCE TO HAVE A CAREER BUT EVERYTHING WENT DOWN BECAUSE OF MY IMMIGRATION STATUES.
