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.
Over 25,663 supporters in 50 states have signed their name in order to make a difference, add yours below to become one of them.

Following the petition below:
I WANT TO START MY LIFE!
We need to pass this because 99.9% of all of the potential recipients of this Act were brought here through no fault of their own. They have grown up as an American child, lived the life of all of their peers in school, and deserve the right to become legal citizens!!!
Our nation is ripped apart with games in Washington & the lack of heart and humanity in our culture these days. My husband, who's been here since he was 12, will probably be deported in July because our justice system does not deem his leaving for 3-15 months an "extreme or unusual hardship" on me, his bi-polar wife. Its just standard hardship??? He's a good man who works hard, goes to college and active in our community. I beg the House, Senate & Congress to PLEASE for the love of God & for the sake of justice think about immigrants as HUMAN BEINGS & please think of those who love them with a grain of humanity too.
PASS THE DREAM ACT PLEASE!!!!
PASS THE DREAM ACT!
PASS THE DREAM ACT PLEASE!!!!
I PLEAD WITH CONGRESS TO PASS THE DREAM ACT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE MIDST OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT WE NEED EFFECTIVE AND COLLECTIVE IDEAS FROM ALL TO RESOLVE FUTURE CRISIS. IF WE DO NOT ALLOW THESE UNFORTUNATE AND INNOCENT CHILDREN TO HAVE THE CHANCE OF PURSUING THEIR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE IN ESSENCE BURRYING PART OF OUR FUTURE SOLUTIONS TO OUR NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THE DREAM ACT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO HELP HARNESS THE POTENTIAL OF THE INNOCENT CHILDREN WHO MIGHT CONTRIBUTE, EFFECTIVELY, TOGETHER WITH OTHERS TO RESOLVE THE MANY PROBLEMS FACING HUMAN RACE OF TODAY. CONGRESS, PLEASE PASS THE DREAM ACT.

I am a 17 yo High School student from Edcouch Elsa with many dreams and goal. Many different things I wish to do, yet without any Privileges that many other kids have (citizens) I am forced to abi by the little resources I am granted. Finishing High School, attending college, and have a good secrue career is what I am deprived from doing. Please support the DreamACT
Thank you
I've lived my life in hiding, and unable to do the things the rest of my class mates take for granted. I am in this position because of actions that were not my own. I have watched my classmates get licenses (which I cannot do), Get federal funding for college (which I have no access to), and pursue promising careers (which I am denied the same opportunity).
I've worked hard all my life to be an excellent student, and I was able to find a way to attend college. This thus far is my greatest accomplishment, I've graduated with high honors and completed something society told me I could not do. What's next? Hope.
I still live in fear and hiding, I cannot vote. I am here but not here. Yet this is the only home I've known.
Please pass the DREAM Act. Immigration Reform is long past due.
I'm a high school senior, but I do not have the kind of pleasure to go to a college like those others (legal students) do. Since my status does not let me aquire any kind of government aid. I was ranked in the top of my graduating class, but I lost my aspirations to continue a post secundary education. So everyone, a better thing that you can do is influence this government to pass this essential reform for those students that deserve to acchive in America. This proposal will grant many needful deserving humble peoples another chance on pursuing a properous life. Don't let another generation go on by, I entreaty this government to not stand blindly. -Jose.B
