We need this law to passed help anyone that support our stuggle
I wanted to know if the Dream Act has been passed? since im in high school and going to be a senior, i read that to be able to apply for the Dream Act you need to have 5 years before the law was passed. I dnt know if its entirely true i would appreciate it if someone could explain me if this is true because i have only 4 years. thank you.
I am an undocumented college student in America. I, like the millions that are in my same situation, want and NEED desperately for the DREAM ACT to be signed into law. I was brought here when I was only a year old by my parents, whom only wanted a better life for me. If you believe the people who oppose this law then technically I was already a criminal at the tender age of one without even being able to comprehend the simplest things in life. I plead with the lawmakers of this great country to sympathize with us because after all even even murders get paroled and given a second chance. All I have ever wanted was to receive my college education and become a contributor to society please to turn my DREAM into a nightmare.
kuddos Ph.D Stuart McFeeters. There are many College and University Graduates that are undocumented imagrants. If they have shown that they are strong willed people,and have proven themselves by being educated people, They deserve the right to be U.S. citizens and help make this a better country.
Lets all let our VOICE be heard and enact the DREAM ACT
I hope the DREAM ACT passes, because my DREAM is to be able to go to college
I am a retired teacher of 37 years. I have many former students who would benefit from the Dream Act. One was smuggled into the country as an infant in a shoebox stuffed under a car's dashboard. His parents no longer live here. He has never lived anywhere but California. He graduates from high school this week and this would offer him hope and an opportunity to gain citizenship.He is a great person and wants to be an American!
I was blessed to be born within the borders of the US but my fiancee wasnt, he was brought here when he was 2 years old. He went graduated highschool with honors in 2007 and desired to continue his education but wasnt able to. We met over a year ago and he proposed to me and I accepted. We welcomed our first child 2 months ago and it was then when the reality of our situation set in. My fiancee is a very good man and we dream together of the life we could have if this DREAM ACT is put in place. Otherwise he will be sent back to his birth country which he is unfamiliar with, where he will definitely feel like an outsider. Our son needs a guarantee that his father will always be here for him.
I 100% support the Dream Act
this would be like the light at the end of that dark tunnel for undocumented students. Let US suffer no more! After all, isn't this the land of the free and the home brave? Well by passing this Dream Act this will actually be the first step of freedom for the one's that well deserve it.
THIS WILL BE A GOOD THING FOR THE WORLD
I support the Dream Act. It is NOT their fault let's not blame them nor deport them at all!! I have had a consistant flow of emails and messgaes from immigrants who would like to show their side of the story and speak on behalf of supporting The Dream Act on online tv. Contact me if interested in doing so, no traveling needed only a webcam or camcorder, if none a microphone, thanks.

I hope they pass this act, I am one of the undocumented students that doesnt want to graduate and never get a job bassed on my career plans. Please give us the opportunity to make our dreams come true, we have values and we respect everyone around us, I think we deserve it!!
Proud to take part in the struggle to end the terror and anguish of undocumented workers.
For an America we can truly feel proud of.
“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.”
pls pass the dream act 2010!!!
The rest of us North American citizens take our liberties for granted - I support your dream!
I support the Dream Act. I form part of many undocumented students waiting for this Act to be passed. This will help us achieve our Dream, our goals, and better yet be able to provide a better future and give back something to this country. Many students have been paying for their own studies but after that whats next since they are not able to continue further education. There is nothing wrong being done, we just want an opportunity to accomplish our DREAM!!
The Dream -Act will to bless America...
All I want is to become part of this country, I adapted to the countries culture. I dream of the day that I will be able to go to college. That is my only dream.
There's young people who are graduating and they want to be successful!
Undocumented students, and their families, have worked hard and sacrificed much to realize their dream of obtaining a college education to conribute to the betterment of our country and to help make the lives of their families a little easier. These students are not eligible to receive much of the financial aid that is available to citizens, so they are often paying the entire cost of their education themselves. Persons of such astounding character are what made this country great; they deserve an opportunity to become citizens through the DREAM Act.
We are a female vet peer support group that has recognized that many women of color were raped in the military. Therefore we support the dream act in that it allows women to heal through the use of thier own minds. Part of that healing is education and getting degrees to go own with ones life, The other a part is activism agsint this type of rape but education is also a part of the healing process. If one looks at the oil spill in the gulf of mexico that took an adminstration a long time to respond to one could interpret that non response as racsim toward Indian land. I think we need to allow bright minds to come up with solutions to such problems that are occurring with this nation. It is about stopping racism.
Why would we want to invest thousands of dollars in educating these kids and then not allow the best and brightest the opportunity to go to college? Wake up congress! Do the right thing for these kids who had no say in how they got here, have endured a life of fear of being deported and yet have worked hard and been successful academically. Pass this legislation NOW before we lose more kids to poverty.
We are a nation of Immigrants and need the children of today's Immigrants to assure our health as a nation. So many people are choosing no to have children, not even to marry. Our pets are being treated better than children, especially the children we choose not to have. Our median age in this country tells the story. Yet our Immigrants call us to values we have forgotten, and once they can be counted and contribute, we will all be richer.
we need the dream act in order to continue are studies.
Our most powerful weapon is education. I encourage all Hispanics to pursue their right to an education and strive for success.
The US needs to develop every intellectual resource possible to remain competitive with overseas adversaries and trading partners. Immigrant kids have everything absent from so many non-immigrant kids: bilingual, bicultural, adaptive with a high tolerance for cultural ambiguity, drive, vigor, character, values, work ethic. Denying them access to higher education sabotages this nation's cultural survival. Suppor the Dream Act.
I have worked with many young Latino immigrants who were raised in this country and were shut down when it was found that not only can they not apply for funding or loans, they cannot attend our colleges at all. This is just wrong. Please vote for the Dream Act!
its time for all of us that have been in this country all our life to finally come out of the shadows.
Good Luck to all and keep your dreams alive!
This is what the Lord has sent Congress to pass , to, instead of penalizing these young people who have no faults , actually helps them and leads them towards a better path! The United States is a leader and always will be a leader , so why not be a leader in allowing non citizens to be able to study !
Everyone has a dream, and my dream for a long time has been to study in this country to become a better individual and prosper as a professional. I recently just graduated from high school and found myself stuck. Graduated with honors and top 10% of the class and feel as like this achievement means nothing, now that I'm unable to go to college. It would be a dream come true if this act is passed.
Thank you so much !
SUPPORT THE DREAM ACT!!!
I think this is an important step to rational and humaine immigration reform. These children are American regardless of when and how they arrived here.
I have been living in the United States for some years now and I have been living what I thought was "The American Dream." Now that it is time for me to continue my education and progress in life, my dream is put on standby at the expense of unknown immigration laws. I serve this country as lawfully as its citizens and yet I am not able to pursue my dreams as its citizens.
I support the Dream Act because it will help me achieve all my academic goals in order to provide for this beautiful country. Please help us [young immigrant students] to fulfill our dreams because that way you are not only helping us but also the future of our society!
I support to the DREAM Act because it is a good action. Some true story demonstrate it is useful.It could have some good change for students.
Great kids can do great things if this law is sign.Please do it!Q!
I am a teacher who has many students who were brought here illegally as children. These children have been some of the hardest-working, best-behaved, most successful students in the school. They had no choice in this matter, and now have built a life here. They want the possibility to go to college in the United States and make a difference in the world. Let's not deny them this.
As a person who grew up in a very diverse Latino community, I saw many fellow classmates from my graduating class having to give up their opportunity to attend a really good university because of their legal status. I'm saddened, because I know how much they can contribute to our society, as doctors, engineers..etc. Those undocumented students were some of the brightest people in my graduating class,and the most they can do is attended a community college. It's such a shame and they aren't being given the chance to reach their highest potential. We must really push our elected officials to do something about passing the DREAM ACT! Writing letters (by hand), holding meetings in our communities, trying to meet with our elected officials...in other words BEING PROACTIVE, it is not enough to sit here and write about it.
Please help our non-citizen high school graduates to become citizens, and can go on to colleges and universities. and become full-fledged, active members of our society.
Immigrants that were brought to America at an early age and have completed an American education should have the right to become legal citizens without fear of deportation, especially those that want to attend colleges and universities. I especially refer to students that had no knowledge of the legal immigration process at an early age and their their parents failed to sign up for.
For students seeking to better themselves and this country this Act is essential.
I support DREAM Act because I want to see my students graduate from high school and be able to go to college to fulfill their dreams.
I hope that all 100 senators will be open to see how much the Dream Act would help, not only adolescent non-citizens but also the united states!
We need to pass this act because America was founded by immigrants and thanks to them this nation is as great as is now
dream act 100%
i really hope this law come thru because i know it will help so many students that heve the desire to keep their education growing like me.
It is unbelievably unfair that children who are taken across the borders, with out consent are subject to immigration laws. They did not "choose" to cross, they were brought across,
This law should be passed to help insure innocent children's future.
I agree with this act 100 percent!! a lot of people are brought here illegally at a young age and i pray this passes

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
The dream Act must be passed to allow my grandson and others like him who came to the United States legally as infants and were brought up as loyal American citizens for a number of years to remain with their families in the United States and provide the dedication and skill required to build the great nation.
An educated nation is a strong nation. America is already falling behind in education stats among many G-20s. It is time we stop discriminating and start worrying about the future of this nation. Think how far China and other developed nations are ahead of us. For God's sake, if a person living in this country actually wants to go to college, it is a rarity and should be encouraged for the benefit of all - not discouraged!!! Think long term.
