The Dream Act should be passed all we are looking for is to have a better live than aour parents becuase we can see the consequences of not having an education. No one should be hold back from making their dream come true. Education should be a right for everyone not just certain people.

Please pass the dream Act law...we students want to keep studying and make a contribution to this country in which we have been here all our lives!

I think that deep soul-searching is in order here. We are a country of immigrants and a great many of us have successed in fulfilling the "American Dream". Here is our chance to tap-in to vital intelletual resources that are desperately needed in this country. If one looks back at history to check the national origins of many of our great contributors to our society, it would indeed be very difficult to find on that was not from immigrant parents or family. Many families have sacrificed much to get thier children educated in this country. It is a true privilege to accomplish this goal. If we do not act on thier behalf, we are the ones to suffer.

There is a need for change in our laws. Please do so and allow thousands of students to live a fair life.

Many children negatively impacted have spent their entire K through 12 lives here and are now pursuing Colledge degrees - paid for by thier parents and risk lost of credit for futures and time already well spent in higher education! Fine minds with high hope and strong contributions for America's future! Please don't let them slip through a useless crack - Steamboat Springs Colorado needs them, as does the greater communities of the State and country!

When you have a family that gives back to the community, contributes to much needed affordable housing, offers stable employment opportunities in this challenged economy and raises their two sons to be responsible members of the community one should be celebrating their achievments. Instead there is a distinct possibility that their oldest son will be deported prior to graduating from College. Because the Dennis family has followed all the rules they are facing this distinct possibility while elsewhere thousands of illegal imigrants continue to be a strain on our financial well being. These arcaic laws need to be revisited which is precisely what the Dream Act is addressing. I support the Dream Act and more importantly and selfishly don't want to see the Dennis family torn apart after being such model citizens.

I personally know of a family situation that this new proposed law would apply. It would make sense to have such a law and the law has its protections written into it to weed out those that should not be entitled. That assumes that we would be enforcing this law or any of our other immigration laws.

Please pass this act and stop families being split up.

We have friends who have lived in Steamboat for 20 years. They have two sons, a 19 year old who was 4 months old when he was taken to America, and a 17 year old. Without this act the eldest boy will have to return to England, without his family, when he is 21. Please do not allow this to happen.

A boy without a country, I work for a business owned by two English Nationals, they moved here almost 20 years ago and have been here on Visas that have been renewed every few years. Their son, came to America with his parents when he was only 4 months old. He has gone to schools here, and now is in college, when he turns 21 if the... laws don't change he will have to leave his home,( because for all except on a birth certificate he is an American ) and go to England. Immeigration, is not jut the face of our friends from the border, but the face of the kid next store. All people should look at where we came from, and relieze, that this country was built on more then one nationality, that a child should never be countryless, but should be allowed to stay in the home that they were raised in.See More

is time to for the law and their puppets to stop playing games and focus in the future not only of us that are suffering but for their country, there is no freedom there is no dream if our life is based on some documents stop the madness now pass one law help billions.

please push this act through - my nephew and his family are strongly depending on it - it would be an injustice to split the family unit after being in the country for 20 years and running a sucessful business. My nephw has worked hard at his studies and has adcheived the highest grades - america would be loosing a well educated student Thank you in anticipation.

I am the child of someone who immigrated to the US after WWII.

Friends of mine have been in Steamboat Springs legally now
for almost 20 years but have not been able to become citizens. Mark, their eldest, moved from England when he was 4 months old. He is now at his second year at CU Boulder but may have to cut his studies short and return to England when he turns 21 years old, (he is now 19 years old). This would be devastating to their family. Due to the Dream Act, this may not need be. Thank you.
