Sign the 2011 DREAM Act Petition:
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 41,465 supporters in 50 states have signed their name in order to make a difference, add yours below to become one of them. Before you sign the petition, be sure to chip-in if you have a PayPal account or a credit/debit card, the chip-in button is at your left, all chip-in resources are going toward DREAM ACT advocacy / movement (such as this site).

Following the petition below:
my fiance is mexican and i would like to see her be able to enjoy all the benifits that i am able to receive. I do not believe it is right that collages will charge a non citizen 4 times the normal rate for collage
A child can not control what their parents did, therefor they should not have to suffer for it. Many of these students are not fimilar with where they are from, America is all that they know. I honestly feel that they should be able to recieve citizenship, because they deserve the chances that Americans will recieve.
There is someone who is so dear to my heart that is being affected by this. He graduated high school in 2007 and is an amazing person who is filled of life and extremely smart and it's such a shame that he cannot pursue his dreams due to that fact that he is undocumented. He has recently considered moving back to Mexico since he cannot do much here. It will break my heart if he left because he's not just leaving me behind but also his family. It's a shame how people can be against such a wonderful oppurtunity that is being given to these students. These students where brought here from a small age and formed their life's here. They went through the same schooling every other documented student did but the only difference is once they graduated high school that was it for them. They cannot continue like most of us and that to me Is such a shame! I am extremely passionate about this act and I hope that these students will be given the oppurtunity to continue following their dreams.
In 1997, I was brought to the United States for a better life along with my 3 other siblings. Our parents have done all they can for us to succeed in this country, but there is just one problem. My sister graduated this year from a private university in the state of Florida, and I will graduate high school next year, but it will be difficult to do so without the passage of the Dream Act. Not all undocumented immigrants came here to raise crime rates. We want a better future for ourselves and our family. We can make this country stronger than it is now. God bless everyone that has hope in the Dream Act, and let us all pray that is gets passed.
My mom brought me to the USA from Mexico when I was 8 years old for a better life, I always wanted to go back when I was little but then 2 years latter I realized that I was living in a better place full of opportunities, where I felt safe and I didn't feel scared of anything. I love the United States, here I found happiness and here is where I dreamed so hard and so big. I want to be an Artist, and I can't study the art of acting because I need a visa. I want to be a philanthropist, with the voice that one day I will gain with my work as an actor, helping unprivileged kids and elderly with no families. Like Gandhi once said "You must be the change you want to see in the world"... I hope you can help us make our dreams come true.. thank you
I am a Junior here at Hoke High. I have one more year until I graduate, then I want to go to college, but that is hard for me because of my situation. I want to mayor in electrical engineering. My family is very humble. We work with what we have and what we can get. If this Act is passed everything would be a lot easier not only for me but for millions of students with similar situations. These are people that actually want to do something with their lives but it's hard for us. I thank everyone who supports us, and if you don't you are very well entitled to your opinion and I respect it. God bless all of you who read this.

I think there's many people that are going to be against it, but I know God has the prefect timing for that law to be passed,(: we just have to wait& leave everything in his hands<3
I was brought here at the age of 4 yeah I didn't know what was going on at the time, all I remember where my dad's words telling me that everything would be okay!
My whole family came in with a Visa but it just expired in October, but I haven't seen the rest of my family in like 7 years& it's sad but I know that just like my dad said "Everything will be okay".
My boyfriend is here illegally and it would mean so much to him if he got to enjoy the different things that citizens (like me) take for granted sometimes. I have tried to make a difference by writing our state government but I guess they don't read it.
MY PARENTS BROUGHT ME HERE AT THE AGE OF 7 I WAS BORN IN PERU. HOWEVER I CONSIDER THE USA MY HOME. HOWEVER I FIND IT MORALLY WRONG FOR ME TO BE DENIED RIGHTS THAT MY FELLOW SCHOOL MATES HAD WHILE I WAS GROWING UP IN SCHOOL. I HAVE LOST 3 CARS DUE TO NOT HAVING A LICENCE I CANT LEGALLY WORK THEREFORE I CANNOT PAY FOR AN EDUCATION. THE ONLY THING I WISH FOR IS JUST ONE CHANCE TO PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BESIDES THIS COUNTRY WAS MADE UP OF IMMIGRANTS ANYWAYS. WE CANNOT FORGET OUR FOUNDATIONS.
I moved to the United States when I was 4 years old. My parents had a hard time living in Israel so they chose to move to America with a visa. But after a while it expired and now i can't live my dream and go to law school because I am not a permanent resident. As Abraham Lincoln once said “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves”. Is this statement from one of the most esteemed presidents of the history of the United States forgotten? Or is the U.S. just choosing to ignore it? it seems that the only way the United States can show that they are living to their word and that they are a country which has true freedom, is if the Dream Act is finally passed.
This is common sense, both humane and fair. All students deserve the incentive to stay in school, do their best, and pursue their dreams.
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. IT KILLS ME INSIDE BECAUSE USA CITIZEN THAT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO HAVE A CAREER THEY THROW IT AWAY FOR DRUGS OR OTHER THINGS THAT AREN'T GOOD AND AFFECT OUR COUNTRY AND WE PEOPLE THAT WISH TO HAVE THAT APPORTUNITY TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE CAN'T BECAUSE OF OUR SITUATION. I SUPPORT 100% DREAM ACT. THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO I WAS BORN IN MEXICO, BUT MY HEART IS HERE IN THE USA THAT'S WHERE I WAS RAISE.THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. I SHOULD HAVE RIGHTS TOO.
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, being a legal US citizen and an outstanging student, FULLY support this organization and this movement. I do agree that children have the right to have an equal education and equal oportunities.
I feel this is a small step in the right direction for solving the immigration situation.
PLEASE PASS THIS ACT!!!
