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 42,430 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).

I greatly approve of this magnificent act. Pass the act for a better future!!!
What a different country this would be if citizenship were not a birthright but something earned.
I am the teacher of an exceptional student who will graduate in two days and will not be able to use his degree. As my best student, employers would have fought over him. All my top students had jobs before graduation and are doing well. My best student sits in limbo. The Dream Act is his only hope.
I believe that everybody should have the right to continue with their studies. Everybody should continue reaching for thier main goals in life. PASS THE DREAM ACT, Thier education should not stop after they graduate from high school.If the dream act passes it will make alot of students go to college so they could go forward in life and have a career they always dreamed of.Pass the dream act.
I am a citizen. Everyone should have the right to an education, no matter their status. Give these students the opportunity to pursue their goals. Pass the Dream Act. Their education should not stop after high school. The passing of the Dream Act would encourage thousands more students to work hard and pursue a college degree. With a more educated population and workforce, this would be better for our country too - economically, financially, and socially. Pass the Dream Act!
I support the DREAM!

God Willing help us all
This would help out a lot of good people because of no fault of their own the get brought to the united stats as a child or baby and don't find out about there illegal status up in to they try to get a job or apply for college or the military its not far for them to become such a part of the community just to be denied the right to live in the very country they have grown to love and plague to every day.
From the beginning, America was created for immigrants who wanted a better future. Dream Act will definitely benefit America more as all these children will definitely give back to the community!
“The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.” A quote said by Diogenes Laertius. We live in a society where there are three different types of people. There are the people that are given the opportunity to get an education and take it. Then there are those that are given the same opportunity and don’ take it . Last but not least is the people that don’t have that opportunity but want it, need it , pray for it, dream it .
Ive lived here since I was four. I even consider myself more American than Hispanic. Im now about to graduate Highschool and I have limited choices with what to do with my Future. Please Help. PASS THIS BILL
I support the Dream Act. All these kids have potential and have a lot to offer to this great country. It is time to give them a chance. God bless America.

Im illegal
This is Oscar Tamez im 18 years of age,and im from Houston, Texas Ive Been here for more than 17 years and My dream is to serve this country By joining the millitary forces and tried for almost the past 2 years.
So many of these younger kids that are here illegally are brought by their parents. It isn't fair that (the ones who attend school)they don't have a chance to further their education because of something they didn't have control over.
