Please pass the Act, I know good individuals that this would really help! PASS IT!
I graduated from high school in 2007. I am in college. I am praying for this law to pass. I love education. I was brought here at the age of two and now i am 21. I can't go back to a country i don't know. I grew up in this country and i love this country as if i had been born here. Please do not deny students like myself try to make a better country. It is not our fault. We did not chose to come here as children. But we are also thankful for it because we got to grow up in the best country of the world where we have opportunities and our rights are protected!!!!!
I have hope this bill while pass because like many others this is the golden ticket to a long life eduacation. Like many other my story isnt any different i was brought here as a child looking for the American Dream and I will graduate soon "2012" but there's still the what if's and how am i going to go to college but i have hope. Because i want to make a difference i want to prove to everybody that anything is possible in the land of the dreams. Dreams can come true. I want to become a doctor or psychologist and just because i dont have papers doesnt mean i have to stop what im doing. My parents are my motive because they doubt i will make it far and that i will relive there life long struggle story of being here as an illegal. The DREAM act will help my dreams come true and i hope with all my heart and soul this act will pass.
It isn't fair to punish children for their parents actions.
Free these young adults from the punishment they suffer because another adult one day made poor decisions for them!
I am not an American by law, but by heart I am more than any "real" American could be. You are not born American, you become American because of what you are, not of where you were born. I have the dream and the capacity of giving this country all that it deserves; if I could just be given one chance...
please pass the dream act!!!
Im not a u.s citizen or a resident i got brought here to the u.s.a when i was 4 years old and i studyed like i soppose too and then got pregnant and im back in scholl now takeing my ged but cant go to college because it cost too mush cant get a loan because only residents and citizents can!! i think this is unfair i was brought here to have a better feature and actually its been hard for me to achieve my dream to become a nurse and with this dream act will help alot of us immigrans!!! so pleas abama make it a law and for the rest im here with you praying!!
I'm American born Hispanic and I support the Dream Act because I refuse for something as stupid as documents prevent my friends, who I went to school with and graduated with, from achieving their dreams.
We all are sons and daughters of god, so why discriminate against our own brothers and sisters? Is it really a crime to want to overcome various obstacles and have a deep desire to achieve in life? I am one of the many students in the U.S. that have overachieved and focused academically. Ever since I was in elementary I have always passed my End of Grade exams with A's. Now I am in high school and I am still excelling in my studies. Now all I can do is pray that they will pass the Dream Act in time so that I can continue with my studies so that I can show what I am capable of doing for this country that has become my home. So I urge people to become part of the dream and look beyond the complexion of our skin and of our nationalities. It is time for people look at the soul of the many students that have only one chance is pursuing their dreams without borders. Let liberty ring across the land and never let the hope of the people die.
I am a US citizen, born and raised. The only reason I support the DREAMACT is because of what it stands for. This specific group are kids and/or students that were bought here by their parents and/or family members, and as kids/students, you do what your parents say and/or go where they go. These students have been living as law-abiding citizens for at least the last 5 years, prove that they are academic achievers, and can certainly contribute to our society. Residency status will at least allow the students to go to school, get educated and help their community and/or go back to help their country.
It is simply idiotic to punish someone for only what their elders have done. One person who is done wrong by violating this logic is one too many. Please, for the sake of our nation, grant that their dreams may come true!
I really hope this act goes through. All of us need a chance to attend college and get an education to help our families. Im a teen mom and Im one of the few that got their high sd so please give us a chance.God is Great!!!Tracy Lopez brought to this country at age 3.
My point of view -
what percentage of America can actually prove they are full blood American ? Meaning they can not have any other origin in there blood . Weather it be 10% German , English , Mexican , ect .
It's time to pass the DREAM act for those who actually deserve there right to gain freedom .
I support the DREAM ACT>.
in solidarity with the Dream Team in NC who are currently on their 10th day of a hunger strike in 95-100 degree weather.
There's really no way I can pay for college if this is not passed. My future is literally on the line. Please pass the Dream Act. I want to better myself and my family and this would help out a great deal. I just want to go to college and better the nation! I came here when I was six years old, and I am now 16 years old will be a senior in September. Even though I was not born here, this is my home, and I hope to prosper in it.
We all have rights we are all human WE ALL HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS!!!!
Its time to past the Dream Act. As a matter of FACT!! it's way past time!! We must Act NOW!!
We are people who only want an opportunity to study and to be part of this great country.
For many of us this is the only opportunity we have in this county. Many of my friends this is the only thing that will enable them to work or to better them self in this country....
together we can make a difference. i really wish this act can go through and maybe this can help me even after i graduated, but most important for the kids grauating so that they can get the chance that maybe i won't be able to have.
It is time Congress and our president take leadership on the immigration issue. The Dream Act is a wonderful opportunity for U.S. society to help immigrant youth break the chain of poverty and contribute to the future of the nation.
I look forward to the support of this fine legislation by my future candidates, most of whom are presently in office. Those who are unwilling to keep their promises should count my continued support of their candidacy out. Tim Paynter
Keep it going!
The dream act speaks for itself. A chose not made by them at a young age that will haunt them for many years. Where to work? What choices do i have for my future? Why cant i be like my friends? These are some questions most of these kids ask themselves. Its time to make a change in their lives and make dreams come true. They are brilliant kids with great talents just waiting to fly. I am one of those dreamers... let me fly.
I have a dream!
Together let us make a difference in the life of someone. This someone would in turn continue to make a difference in the life of another someone, like a domino reaction, until one day our world would be full of people wanting to make a difference in the life of a human being, wouldn't our world be a better place to live one day?
We need this dream act come a reality they need a chance....we need to support them as much as we can....
I've been living in the us since the age of 4! Big dreams of a career in nursing. Dreaming is believing!please make students DREAM a reality!!
We need the Dream Act to become a law we have been waiting for so long don't make us wait more!
I am not latino, and have no relatives who are latino. But, I am Jewish. I see too close a paralell to what is happening today in America and what happened 70 years ago in Germany. I will not stand by and let it happen. I am NOT an activist, but I am supportive.
We can not allow the best, brightest and most courageous to be deported, diminishing America. We need their talents. We must pass the Dream Act as one step towards comprehensive and just immigration reform that serves the needs of the American people.
We're honored to be a signatory to the DREAM Act.
Lets allow students reach their academic goals regardless their immigration status. You and the ones before you were granted that dream. Why prevent anyone else?
OBAMA, WHERE IS THE DREAM ACT? WE WANT IT NOW!!!!
150% for this Dream Act to happen! Everyone needs to support this! Si se puede!!
It's not the young immigrants fault they were brought to America by their parents. They shouldn't have to pay the sad consequences for their parents decisions. I can't stand the thought of thousands of kids/young adults having to be deported because of it and being sent to a country they dont even know, some don't even know how to speak Spanish they're do Americanized. .
This is my only hope to continue my education. Please lets make this a reality
I'm 100% for this Dream Act. Please let it pass! If you're here for the people, listen to them. Help them.
Please give our people a chance
The Dreamact is what being an American is all about. It represents the epitome of equal opportunity and the collective desire for America's potential as a nation of progress and equality.
We can do it!!!
They need to pass the dream act as I have a friend who has been here since a baby and cannot live a normal life. This person is more kind hearted, hard working, and much more harmless than the American that is born on our land. She will have to deport if this bill is not passed. My daughter will lose her God Mother because of this. She was a child that did not ask to come to this country but was brought here by her parents at a young age. It's just not fair...
i support this for any immigrant to pursuit for happiness and for their goals
Please vote to make the Dream Act a reality. These are the kind of people that this county was built with. Hard working, ambitious and good people who want to be Americans and want to participate in our society legally. These people want to better themselves and contribute to our American way of life.
I have had the opportunity to work with many children who came to the U.S. with their families. While their parents were desperate enough to come to our country illegally, these children have learned how to be "good Americans" and want to act accordingly. They know little of their home countries as they have not been back since they were very young. These children have been educated and have the potential to be productive members of our society. They should be given a chance to be such, not punished for the choices their parents made for them when they were too young to decide.
I'm about to graduate in 2011, and my dream is to become a lawyer, is the American government going to deny my dream?

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.
The dream act should be unanimously supported. It is well written, fair, and provides an opportunity for the youth to not only become educated but earn a better life. They would become american citizens both on paper and in terms of education.
Please pass the dream act
PLEASE PASS THE DREAM ACT! I JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL WITH HONORS AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF MY STATUS! I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD, SO I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR 13 YEARS AND NOW THAT I AM OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, I CAN'T GET MY DREAM CAREER OR GET ANY OF MY DREAMS ACCOMPLISHED! I SPEAK 3 LANGUAGES, A WHIZ AT WRITING AND READING AND I WANT TO BECOME A TEACHER OR A WRITER BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE OF THE STUPID PAPERS... SOME SAY THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULDN'T GET PAPERS BUT WHAT US YOUNG ADULTS WHO WERE TAKEN HERE BY KIDS HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT OUR PARENTS DECIDED TO DO? IT'S NOT FAIR! I AM 100% LIBERAL AND I BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR US EDUCATED PEOPLE TO GET WHAT WE DESERVE!
It is a shame that AMERICA will not give students the opportunity to prove their skills and ambitions because of their legal status. Many of these students have lived in the U.S. their entire life and have been living the American lifestyle. So why not give those who want a future, the chance to prove that they can too be someone in life one day? We all share this world and we should all be treated equally with no judgements and restrictions. The Dream Act should be passed!!!!!!
It's time to pass this needed bill in Congress and for it to be signed by the president. These young people should be allowed to finish their education and become citizens of our great country. These are law-abiding students doing the right thing. they want to make their way in our society and they have earned that right. The law needs to be passed as soon as possible. This is what our country was founded on. Freedom.
It is a shame that illegals crossing the border (can't call them immigrants) are treated with more respect than those whom have abided by all of our visa requirements for years and are prevented citizenship in this country. Martin and Alison Dennis have made significant contributions to this town of Steamboat Springs, the state of Colorado and this country of ours. Hopefully, the bipartisan effort to pass the Dream act will become a reality for this wonderful family.
pease pass the dream act we really need it so we can get some help with school and that we can some day become citizens and that way we be able to use our degress thank you and i hope the DREAM ACT pass
I would rather be a lawyer than a cartel worker
I think it is fair for students that were brought here illegally as children in which they really had no say in whether or not they got to go. What a waste of time money and potential for a person to waste their time studying so they could just be deported or not even have a chance to fulfill their dreams because of their legal status. everyone deserves a chance to try to make the best of their lives. who know maybe an illegal alien that went to school here in the USA could become someone very great if given the opportunity.
