Support Us – Make It Happen
So many incredibly smart, hard-working young people want to achieve great goals to go to college, have ambitious careers, and give back to their communities here in the United States. Sadly, as they get older and realize their undocumented status, they start to understand that the system is set up against them. They will not achieve that career or be able to help their local community because no matter how hard they work, unless the government decides to change their status, most will never be able to go to college, much less be a police officer, a marine, or a lawyer here.
I recently had a middle school student tell me that. He realized that he would not be able to have the job he so strongly believed he could get only two years ago when I had last seen him. He knew that his status would keep him from ever accomplishing his goal, and that he and his family would always be poor because of where he was born. He could not get a green card; his family had been trying for a long time. He himself had already given up on college since he could never pay for it himself and in the end it would amount to nothing. The degree wouldn't make up for his lack of a social security number.
This incredibly bright young person deserves better. He, like all young people, should have hope for the future and the opportunity to attain their goals. So this is why the DREAM Act must pass.
:) yes we can!
I want to do this because every student should get a education!!! like me and others have DREAMS
I want the Dream Act to come true It will many people
Please pass this Dream Act, as I feel it is urgent to help keep these good family community members together.
My husband was brought here at 3 years old. We have a lawyer and he says we have to go to Mexico! I have been praying everyday about the dream act. This will help our family and our economy.

I am 30 years old, and the dream act would finally complete me. The sorrow and depression of being undocumented can only be understood by people that are going through the same, and to a certain extent by their documented family members. We still have to eat, we still have to pay rent and even taxes. I have to feed my children and make a living somehow. I want to be an equal participant of this society. I'm not asking for a handout or for pity, but instead for fairness and acceptance.
Our founding fathers would have found it incomprehensible that anyone would oppose this legislation. To consider that someone would put their life on the line as a member of the military without a path to citizenship absolutely shows no gratitude for the sacrifice they are willing to put forth. Opposition to the Dream Act goes against the grain of the "give me your poor, your hungry, thirsting to be free" sentiment that once offered a path forward for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Europe and other foreign countries. The story hasn't changed from the early 1900's. But now, the immigrants are from other places, but with the same thirst. Most of the young people who this bill applies to did not come here of their own volition, they came with their parents. They have lived along side of us, as part of us, and have been collectively raised by us as our children. They are, in effect, ours, and we have no other honor bound responsibility but to embrace them as our own, and march to the future as a family. My distant ancestors came here as what would now be considered illegal aliens. To deny these children, would be to deny our own ancestors. We weren't turned away. These children should likewise be accepted in the same way. William McCown
This is a chance for young kids to prove to themselves to the world that they can do it! this is not about where you are from or where you were born, its about the drive that these kids have! to do what they want to do to be succesful in their lives. WE want to be better people and the Dream Act will help us in realizing the potentional we have!
I believe that students who have grown up here in the USA should be given a chance to become citizens, provided that they are in good standing, and want to become integrated as Americans, and not as "foreign national" living in America.
My hope is that this bill will give that opportunity to these young people
The youth of illegal immigrants are victims or circumstance and should not be punished for the actions of their parents. They had no choice...let's give them a chance!
I support this act for all the people who had no choice in their future. Even though it doesn't seem to directly effect me, it could give my boyfriend the chance to go to college, support me and a family, and live his dreams. I believe it will be a great change and opportunity for the US!
I want the DREAM ACT to pass because I want to go to college and become someone in life.
I will keep praying that our God will show us once again his power in this situation and that he will touch the hearts of the Senators and Leaders so that they may pass the Dream Act because it will help thousands of great students with high GPA get into college, so that they may pursuit their dreams and aspirations. Many of these students want to benefit the US with their knowledge, but cannot because of the immigration rules and guidelines.
I know that the best is yet to come for all those who are waiting for this miracle.
The day the DREAM Act is passed is the day all will rejoice. Can't ask for equality in everything, but if it's to better oneself, why not allow everyone the opportunity?
I want this reform to past so i can go to college
I support this reform, and i want this reform to be accomplish, because many student like my self are suffering by this terrible laws that U.S government are doing this to students that want to have a dream like me. So i want my dream to be accomplish and i want to be some one in this country.
Please use your legislative power to help young high school students who fall victim to the deportation back to their home countries when their families remain under Visa protection.
The DREAM ACT should pass because it would help alot of people like me that, couldn't go further with my education to actually go further in life and succeed to the max. It is very important to us in order to get ahead without any road big blocks.
Ted Fu also inspired me to sign and support this.
