passing the Dream act will open many door and options to continue on with a higher learning. this would truly a dream come true
help the cause!
This would be really amazing to see get passed. It doesnt directly affect me becuase I was born in the United States, but being Mexican-American, I feel like I have to stand next to others to help them get what I already have.
We need to let the future of America thrive. Let's provide opportunities for these smart students that have endured hardships because it's not easy to complete an education.
Please let our Dream come true!!
PLEASE APPROVE THE ACT. THESE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD. THEY WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE.
THANK YOU.
I was brought here when I was 3 months old and I have been American ever since!!
Hope this turn into a real law. finally allowing immigrants to finally be accept and get an education
I commend the young people I saw on the news last eve who went to Washington to tell their story...in hope that it would help others. That took real courage.
please let this happpen. It could really change people's lives. These people are trying to make sometihng out of their lives and succed in everyway they could. Lets hope they wont get stuck and keep going with their dreams!
Please all I want is one chance!!!
Come on America! We need this. You guys want good hispanics not bad ones. We want a future. God bless everyone!
i really hope this is for real!
With the exception of Native Americans, all of our ancestors came from somewhere else probably to seek better opportunities. In the public school system we educate all children regardless of their birthplace. Many special programs are in place for English learners to help them succeed. We teach them skills to help them be successful in school. We want them to be "proficient" in standards set by the state. We tell them they can have any career if they stay in school and work hard to do their best. We want the best for them and encourage them to be their best. If these children are allowed to be educated and attend and graduate from college, what is it for if not to gain well-educated individuals who will benefit our society with their knowledge and skills in the workplace? They are given an unfair mixed message. As a teacher, I am saddened and discouraged that they are denied what should be an obvious right.
It is time to wake up! Our organization is Jovenes por un Suenos focues this summer on the Dream Act! We are not only meeting and having workshops! We are taking action and making the best to have our political leaders support us in the passing of a much needed act for all our youth in this country!
I know more about this country's culture and history than my home country, I have been living here since I was 11 and during this time I felt in love with America. Now that I'm finish with high school I'm looking forward to enroll in college and major in physics or mathematics and eventually joining the U.S.A.F. I guess you can call me a fool for being so patriotic for a country that does not recognize me as a citizen. My name is Matheus Almeida and I like so many other students need your support to pass this bill.
Deven pasar esta ley para que mi hija pueda estudiar. Ella siempre a sido de las mejores estudiantes en la escuela. Tienen que darle una oportunidad.
People work really hard to get an education and the life style they obtained. I believe that new generation of people are stronger than the previous generation. They learn from our mistakes. We need them to replace the fallen. This is America where there is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I say Pass the Dream Act.
PASS THE DREAM ACT!
Dream Act Now!
This is our future, this is tomorrows future We need to support our future doctors, lawyers, engineers... we dont need to give sponsorship to other people from countrys that dont even like the USA when we have the brightest minds in our country.
IN FAVOR OF THE DREAM ACT AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
I was born in the United States to parents who are legal immigrants and American citizens. I am privileged to have this background because I have cousins and friends whom are illegal and are afraid of reaching that age when they graduate. I feel really bad for them because many times they are more deserving than American kids. Perhaps this is a good investment for the country because we will have more productive citizens.
I graduated 2 years ago with honors top of my class and with everyone telling me I will be a great artist someday with all the talent I have...and now that talent is going to waste as now I'm going from one meager job to the next, trying to raise what little money I can get just to go to a community college at least, can't afford and can't get in to any prestigious art institute with my status. Very heart breaking to tell those people where I'm at in my life now...PLEASE help support this petition.
I am student of engineering and computer science who wants nothing but to live a normal life in the country I grew up. However I am an immigrant on removal proceedings. I have always dreamed of the day I got my green card and I was able to get on with my life but I guess this won't happen unless this law passes.
Please, DREAM ACT PASS NOW!!!!!
i don't want to get deported back to Mexico... please Mr. President of the United States of America. Help us we are the future of these great land.
help this young generation. we already broke many walls of separation in this country , lets bring this one aswell. a
why are we about to throw away a great generation of young men and women that want to help this nation succed? support this petition all the help is needed. let every one know about it pass the word out help us help those who are being denied their dreams!
my brother just graduated high school. he finished at the top of his class and graduated with honors. now you find him with no hope at home because he couldnt continue his dream. were praying to god that the dream act will go through!! congress, government of the united states of america you have a generation with a very high potential that you may be throwing away! dont make that mistake pass the petition please for the sake of this nation. lets move on past our differences.
Its unfair to the kids. This is the life they know, dont change that.
I am currently a senior and I have a future already planed for me. However me being an immigrant cannot really suceed in my dreams I would gladly appreaciate president Obama if he helps us all immigrant students so that we can have a better future. Not only for me but for all those students who have lived in America and take it as part of their lifes.
I really would like the approval of an Immigration Reform, I came to this beatiful country long time ago and my only try to get better each day, I never asked for goverment help and I know there are many people like me or better, they need an opportunity to live in a good enviroment and with respect.
Please I ask with all my respect to my President for who I have voted Barack Obama to legalized people of good moral character and hard working.
Sincerely
Gladys Rosier
We need to create a better equiped job force, so how can we justify limiting the educational potential of those who are forced to live in US by necessity or happenstance and not choice. This is typical ingnore the reality and politisize the issue. There is no logical argument against this act.
I am a teacher in a public high school in North Carolina. I have had the opportunity to teach and get to know several undocumented students. These students have so much to offer our society! It breaks my heart to see their dreams squashed! They have to choose between leaving the only country they really know to continue their education/training or staying here as an invisible person - no social security number, no driver's license, no way to legally contribute to our society. Please help!
Everyone who grows up in the US should have access to citizenship, go to school, get a job and not live in fear. Keep up the good work!
There is no sensible argument to exclude eligible and capable members of society to not fulfill their potential as legal residents. Pass the DREAM act now!
I came to this country when i was 10 years old and i am now 19 ,graduated from middle and high school here, i have learned to love this country and my dream is to serve in the US armed forces that i admire so much.
If they are already here, they should be allowed to stay!
Im a nursing student at a university and would love to help my community as a nurse.but without the dream act this will be impossible since i will not b able to wrk & help those in need here in What i call my country! please pass the dream act
I personally know several children who came to our country as babies,some have already graduated high school. They are Americans in all but citizenship status- they know no other country. Why not give them citizenship since they are upstanding persons? They have not been in trouble with the law, nor their parents. They do not belong to gangs and are very well mannered, so why not? I know "American" children who are hooligans yet their parents are against "illegals" wh wok. Why?
Please pass the Dream Act Now!
Thank you.
Please Mr. President. Help!
For many of us school is the only hope for the future of our families but to become another highly educated immigrant w/o the opportunity to excel or like many say fulfill the American Dream is a waste and to not be able to provide for our family, ourselves, or give back to this great country that has given so much to us ... is a total waste please.... pass the dream act... you wont regret it....
pass the dream act!
Some of us did not ask to come here, My parents brought me here when I was a year old I feel like I am US born Im in college now every semester I wonder how I'll pay form my classes and with out the Dream Act I feel like I wont be able to reach the American dream that we all look for wether we are born in America or not and with out the Dream Act we all wont have nothing to show for.
How much longer do students have to wait in order to fulfill their dreams of a better life? How much longer do you want to keep discouraging students from reaching their full potential and contributing to a country that they have come to see as their own?
Please pass the DREAM Act
I truly believe that something needs to be done soon. There are a lot of students trying to further their education that are unable to do so.
please pass the dream act now or never than you
I believe everyone,no matter what racist you are.You should be able to obtain a highly education and especially those that work toward it. Lets let the DREAM ACT be ACTED NOW!!!lets all work together to achieve this goal for our brothers and sisters with big dreams.

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.
I think that the dream act is very important because it will help make other children's dream of becoming someone important in this country real.This will give many illegal childern many chances of having a bright future. So i think that this program is a new start to our country.
Dream Act needs to be passed as soon as possible. Please let this act pass!!
This is act should be passed! Not only is it economically benficial but its basic logic! Think of it like this. What if your parents told you that you were moving? Even if you didnt want to would you have a choice? Probably not, so why should these youth, my husband included, have to pay for what their parents did? We wouldnt be punished for our parents killing somebody would we? They need to pass this act, like NOW!
We need this Act in order for justice to be done for all Americans.
everyone have a chance to do something with their life rather then get stuck in the middle. They didn't choose this life of getting stuck in the US by choice it was given to them so this should be passed for the less fortunate.
I could not imagine a more reasonable proposal that would enrich this country, which is also quite difficult to abuse.
I am a citizen born and raised here .I no many young teenagers that graduated with my kids last year. That cant plan for the furture. That realy saddins me. This act would be a blessing!!!
This is essential to the future of America. I work in schools where bright children face a horrible future. We need this workforce. Please enact the dream act.
The Dream Act should be passed, there are so many students like myself that need is law to be passed. I'm fortunate to be attending a community college for now, but I don't know for how much longer my parents can help me out, even with loans. The Dream Act, would really help me and others who also came to the US.as children and graduated High School here, finish our careers.
my biggest fear is gradutating because i know that after that happens i have little cahnce of succeeding without a legal status in this country no matter how succesful i am now im high school this would be the biggest help in the world i support the Dream Act.
WE need this law to pass!.. We want to be Americans and be part of this beautiful country
The Dream Act will give me a second chance. I was brought to the United States when I was only 12. I finished high school and attended a community college for two years.. However I had to come back to my home country because I could not afford a 4 year school. This act would give me a chance of going back to the place that I love and cherish.
Pass the Dream Act.. It is a our second chance...
I want earn my dream i need a chance.
Ted Fu inspired me to sign this.
The Dream Act must be passed so that my adopted grandson, Mark, can complete his studies and not have to return to England when he is 21. If this should happen the Dennis family will be split. Steamboat would lose a hard-working consciencious family who give greatly to the community.
My parents brought me to the U.S in 1995 if been here ever since.I love it here and i don't know anything else tgan here,if I was to be taking back to mexico I wouldnt know where to go.I graduated in May of this year and I really wanted to go to college but I can't go because I am illegal,it really breaks my heart when my parents can't do nothing about it
I'm foreign on both sides. I hope this bill passes soon.
I am a junior at CSU Long Beach majoring in Social Work and getting a minor in Psychology. Beside all the stress that school can cause to any college student, my biggest stressor is the current fact that I may not be able to fulfill my dream of working and contributing to my community like everyone else. Despite my fear and anger I will continue to fight for my dream because MY DREAM COUNTS TOO!
I was born in mexico but raised in the usa so i am not just a mexican i am a MEXICAN-AMERICAN.
I support this comprehensive BIll!!
Graduating from high school with honors had given me strong hopes for building my future. For the past three and a half years I have been an "AB540" student at a local community college; completed my GED. Where I stand now, gives me no opportunities to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. The DREAM ACT needs to be passed now! I, and many other "AB540" students need to move on.
I am also the byproduct of this lack of inactivedness. Please help Mr. President. I have a Masters in Education and can not teach due to my lack of a greencard.
Thank you
I am in support of the Dream Act. I was born on the fourth of July, 1993 in the U.S. My brother was born in the United Kingdom and moved to the United States when he was four months old along with our parents. He and my parents have been on visa's for nineteen years, yet it is still impossible for them acquire citizenship. My brother is nineteen and as it is now, he can not be on our parent’s visa after he turns 21 years. The DREAM Act would allow him and many other kids to have a pathway to become citizens.
We are here to contribute to the united states. all we ask for is an opportunity to demonstrate that we are all Americans who love this country and who just want to be a part of it. we are contributors please give us the opportunity to succed!!
My nephew has lived in the USA since he was 4 months old. He has studied hard at school and is now attending Boulder university on a four year course. Because of the laws of the USA he will have to cut short his course when he is 21 and return to a country he hardly knows,leaving behind his family and not being able to complete his Batchelor degree. Surely the USA should be encouraging young people like Mark to stay in the USA and complete their studies not turning their backs on them. Please let this Dream act proceed and stop splitting families.
To be able to have the persistence required to wait for such a monumental bill is an amazing feat by itself. However, to have that persistence along with the willpower and determination to follow your dreams and never allow others' actions to waver your ultimate decision of becoming successful.... that makes me believe that, one day, the world will be a great place because of these incredible people.
We should have the opportunity to dream of our future like all of our other classmates.
The Dream Act would make the dreams of my sister and family, a reachable goal.
This is one of the most important things that Congress must approve. Some undocumeted immigrants come to the US for a safer life. They want to be a part of society and work for the greater good. Many kids have worked hard through school and as they are ready to graduate they can not continue to higher education.
Please pass the dream act, this is going to revitalize our country
I have worked with many outstanding young people who fall into this category. Many of these are more conscientious and are of moral character than some native young people who take their citizenship for granted. We need Dream Act qualifiers to stay here and share their goodness with America and the world.
i strongly support the DREAM ACT. and I really hope President Obama pass the plan as soon as possible in order to let the country allow any of us being able to go to college for achieving further educations and degrees. so many people like me have been living in the darkness, and we need to see some changes of a new immigration policy. please pass the act.
The gifts that the undocumented immigrants bring to the nation are overwhelmingly greater than the cost that is perceived. We cannot afford keeping a section of our population in the the shadows of ignorance. Education is the key for the success of our state and our nation.
Let the children live their dream. Nothing should stop them from getting a better education.
Please pass the DREAM Act. So many students and young people are living in the shadows, being denied inclusion into society and being punished for the actions of their parents.
DREAM 2010
PASS THE DREAM ACT WE ALL HAVE DREAMS FOR A BETTER FUTURE
i support the dream act because im in love with an immigrant with a dream of one day been able to go to school or to have there papers its not fare for anyone that has been here sense their child hood
we all have a d.r.e.a.m a dream to become and have a better future in this free country that is america land of the free we all have to put our word in everyone deserves an apportunity
This hard working students deserve a better future.
i agree with the dream act!
I am an AB540 college student.Its ready hard for me to go to college, but i am not giving up. I have to work full time so I can pay my rent, car insuranse, gasoline, food and personal stuff. Im taking 9 units per semester, and its hard. but once again I am NOT giving. My major is in Child Development I have been here with my brothers since I was 11, I am 20 years old now. My life is here.
I never understood the struggles of an undocumented person until recently. My best friend is still attending college even though she is far from becoming who she really wants to be, she dreams of becoming a Registered Nurse. I have never met anyone who works harder than she does, but despite her many obstacles she still aspires to be the best she can be. Being an American is about working hard, achieving your dreams, and paying taxes. All I see when see her is how alike we both are. The only difference between me and her is nine digit number. I believe it's time to give these Americans a fair chance at contributing to our country. Because they are just like you and I, they do not deserve to stand in the shadows anymore. Please pass the Dream Act now.
