so please help us because were not criminals!!!!
WE NEED TO MAKE A MARCH TO WASHINGTON DC.. NEED TO PASS THIS YEAR..
My name is Jessica,
I was brought to the U.S. when I was 6 years old. Arizona charges undocumented students out of state tuition which makes it even harder to continue my education. THE DREAM ACT movement is raising awareness on the fact that there are MILLIONS of students who are unable to graduate and show their true potential to this country. TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!! Lets keep the movement alive and hopefully all our hardwork will payoff!! To all the students who are reading this and who can relate to my story...."SI SE PUEDE" dont give up and keep your DREAM ALIVE!!
Much Love, Jessica
I'm paying 1500 dollars just for a three hour credit class, this is ridiculous for just three hours. I was unable to sign my soccer scholarships from top soccer schools because I don't have the money to cover the rest since I don't receive any Government help. It was hard because I taught my soccer game could help me pay for it, but its not enough! come on people are screaming and doing everything for this to get pass. It wont hurt at all besides the country will benefit from it. After all "we are all equal"
WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. THERE'RE MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE DREAMS AND ARE FIGHTING TO HAVE BRIGHT FUTURES AND THERE'RE A STEP AWAY TO MAKING THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE.. THE ONLY STEP LETF TO GET TO THE FINISH LINE IS THE DREAM ACT, THAT IS HOLDING THEM BACK FROM BECOMING TOMMORROW'S BETTER FUTURE, WITH MORE EDUCATED INDIVIDUALS MAKING HISTORY WITH EVERY TRIUMPH ACHIEVED.
Lets Pass This Petition Now!!!!
Pass it NOW
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
-Preamble to the Constitution
we need this bill to pass.
Marina has lived here in America all her life. She attended Brentwood Elementary , then Brookside Middle school, and now she is a Junior in High school. She’s a straight A student, plays for her schools Tennis Team, volunteers for the key club, and hangs out with friends that she’s known since kindergarten. She’s getting ready to Graduate from high school next year. All her friends are always talking of college, SAT scores, and Dreams of the future. Marina‘s DREAMS are to go to college and study Law. I think we can all relate to Marina because Her DREAMS are very similar to the kind of DREAMS that most of us have. Those DREAMS that we are determined to make into reality. Our DREAMs are the reason we study late at night because we know that all of our hard work has a purpose.
WELL my friends, IMAGINE IF you were told that you could not pursue your DREAMs. Imagine if someone told you that you could not further your education, and go to College and Live your Life. IMAGINE if someone told YOU that you had NO RIGHTS. Can you IMAGINE being imprisoned in your own HOME. A home we call AMERICA, THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS THE CASE OF MARINA. This girl has a broken heart because all her life she has only known this country, and AMERICA is DEPRIVING her of a chance. America is DEPRIVING HER of furthering her Education. And MOST IMPORTANTLY America is DEPRIVING her the chance to pursue happiness. You may be wondering, what has Marina done to deserve this. The honest answer is, that Marina has done absolutely nothing, but be born. Marina is a child being punished for someone else’s mistakes. She is being unfairly punished BY The mistakes that her parents made. AS a young infant, Marina was brought to this country by her Parents illegally. Her parents chose to come here, to make a better life. BUT why is America punishing her. She did not chose to be brought here illegally. She did not make the decision to break the LAW. SHE was only a baby when her parents brought her here.
SADLY Marina is not the only one being punished 65,000 other youths share her affliction and feelings of hopelessness. I believe that these children deserve a chance to make their DREAMS come true and that is why we and all of America should SUPPORT the DREAM ACT. Let’s not leave marina behind, she is like you and I and deserves all the same Opportunities that we do.
I will like to see congress pass the Dream Act ASAP.
The Dream Act needs to become a reality!
WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!
I have met some incredible people who have gone to school here and now have surpassed those who live here as citizens.
this act is mess up. what if a country did that to all americans. that woman who sign is just a bitch. doesnt the constitution say that all people have the same rights ass other
I am an American born in the United States. I am 66 yrs. old and believe that anyone brought here by their parent(s) from another county illegally at a young age who wants to stay in this county and go to college should have the right to do so. I pay taxes and gladly pay them to any student willing to educate themselves. I support these young people in any way I can.
Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.
-Plato
Please find it in your hearts Americans to make this way of life we americans part-take in the "American Dream" possiable for those students living in a night mare. Yes to The "Dream Act".
Please pass the Dream Act. HELP US TO HELP OUR COUNTRY AND SERVE IT BETTER !!!
This would rally help many people, it is a need right now in the USA there are many people that are beingleft behind because of their immigration status and that is not good for anybody. Please if you can help. I have been trying to get into a college I realy love for two yeara now and because of my status I haven't been able to yet, but I have big hopex for The Dream Act. It can change the lives of many people.
This country lets tons of foreign muslims in even though the majority of them are trying to infiltrate and destroy our country one day.
This is pathetic that is has been 8 years and these innocent kids that are now grown into adults can not have normal lives here ,being exploited and always looking over there backs.
This is not right and this bill NEEDS to be passed THIS YEAR! ALL SENATORS ESPECIALLY IN ARIZONA, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO , ETC NEED TO HAVE A HEART AND GET THIS PASSED NOW!
This is America Land of the Free and we have made millions of poor children targets and it has got to stop.
I know of someone (one of millions) that was brought here to the U.S. as a baby. They went to school here, and they don't know anything about living in Mexico. Then they turn 18 and guess what... There is NO way for them to become citizens because they already live here. I want my America to help EVERYONE of the mexicans that are currently in the United States RIGHT now. If you want to close the borders in the future be my guest but PLEASE stop making these good people suffer. Democrats are supposed to have the "biggest hearts" for the poor and that is what these people are because they ARE NOT afforded any opportunities here being illegal. They can't get a social security card, they can't get a drivers license, w/o a social security card they are forced to work for cash under the table in HARD back breaking situations for pennies on the dollar. Please do something NOW and help these poor kids that have grown up here and are now adults. PLEASE
I love to hate!
I pray for the dream act to pass!
Hello, I love immigrants.
I believe even though a student can be illegal they should be able to learn and progress in life,because most foreign students are smarter than others.
This is humanitarian ACT, i urge the Congress to pass the Dream ACT Bill.
Many High School can not move forward - crime will climb if no action is taken.
Again I urge congress to pass an act immeidately.
Orale!!
HI MY NAME IS GUADALUPE BUT PEOPLE CALL ME LUPITA. IM BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS 2 YEARS OF AGE IN SAN ANTONIO TX, I AM 20 NOW AND STILL HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR GETTING MY CITIZENSHIP. I HAVE TWO KIDS OF MY OWN THEY WARE LEGALLY BORN HERE. ONE OF THEM IS 5 AND THE OTHER IS 1. I GO TRU ALOT OF DEPRESSION BECAUSE IM NOT ABLE TO DO ALOT OF THINGS WITH MY KIDS THAT OTHER MOTHERS WOULD DO. SEE MY LEFT ARM IS PARALIZE, BOUT THREE YEARS AGO ME AND 4 OTHER OF MY FRIENDS WERE SHOOT AT. MY BEST FRIEND PAST AWAY & THE OTHERS WARE INJURED I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDNT GET SHOOT BUT MY ARM GOT PARALIZE WHEN WE TRY TO GET AWAY & THE CAR FLIP AROUND. THE DR.S TOLD MY MOTHER THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE IT AGAIN BUT I NEED TO GET THIS REALLY EXPENCIVE OPERATION THE SAID MEDICAL INSURENCE WILL COVER IT BUT SEE SINCE IM NOT FROM TX I CANT GET MEDICAL INSURENCE. SO THERE FOR I CANT GET MY ARM FIXED AND CANT DO THINGS OTHER PEOPLE CAN DO. IM A SINGLE MOM I WORK GO TO SCHOOL TO GET MY DIPLOMA AND TRYING MY HARDEST TO KEEP MY HEAD UP. SO IF ANYONE IS READING THIS PLEASE ILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SUPPORT THIS DREAM ACT SO I CAN GET TO HELP MYSELF AND MY KIDS. NOT ONLY THEM AND MYSELF BUT OTHERS THAT ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS I AM. SO PLEASE OBAMA HELP US AND CONGRESSMEN PLEASE HELP US AS WELL. HELP ME ACCOMPLISH MY DREAM AND HELP ME BE ONE MORE TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY.
I SUPPORT THE DREAM ACT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR THE CHILDREN TO BRIGHTEN THEIR FUTURE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISSOCIATE THE UNDOCUMENTED FROM THE "LEGAL" AND DOCUMENTED CITIZENS, BECAUSE THEY ALL LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND COPY EACH OTHER'S LIFESTYLE AND MANNERISM. WITH THE ADVENT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF: REMEMBER, ONE BAD GRAPE SPOILS A WHOLE BUNCH. I WILL GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A BETTER EDUCATION FOR ALL, INCLUDING THE UNDOCUMENTED SO ALL CAN HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILIY AND ACCOUNTABILIY. I BELIEVE EDUCATION FOR ALL WILL GO A LONG WAY TO MAKE THE JOB OF THE COPS AND OTHER SERVICE PERSENNELS EASIER THAN WE THINK. WE WANT OUR FUTURE LEADERS (CHILDREN) TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HARNESS THEIR GOD'S GIFT WISDOM, SKILLS AND INTELLIGENCE SO THEY COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A MEANINGFUL LIFE. PLEASE GIVE THE CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION: by Rev. Dr. Augustines Adjepong
I was born and raised in this country, and it's embarrassing know that my Government treats my Hispanic community this way. I DEMAND Congress and President Obama to sign the Dream Act. Sincerely, an AMERICAN CITIEN :)
It's been way too, the battle has been tough, but we are almost there! Keep it up guys, we're almost there.
This sounds like a good idea. I hope it gets passed.
This is such a travesty to kids who have no part in being here and would never survive back in Mexico. I just finished reading about six people being found in a cave with their hearts cut out outside of Cancun with Z's carved in their chest. I sat today with a 10th grade honors student who looked down at the ground wondering what he is going to do in a few years. He has no memory of Mexico coming here at 1 year old. Can't we do something? This is such a loss of investment in the education. I have invested 30 years of my life in teaching and this is the one thing that I wish would change more than any other.
education not deportaton
Are you people absolutely mad? Why would you want to give full rights of citizenship and a free ride to college for illegal immigrants who are here illegally? Why don't you help out the legal citizens who want to go to college but are unable to afford the tuitions? This is the most rediculous plan I have heard of this week.
I really want the dream act to be pass bacause I want to continue my studies.
I will not let this "stay' a dream, trust me.
all people are the same let them live a normal life
I have recently graduated high school, and while being accepted to good schools and given a scholarship I had to apply elsewhere because I don't have access to financial aid to offset the remaining costs. I want the DREAM act to be passed not only for myself, but for the many others that are in my situation. We are good people that want a chance at opportunity and success, which is impossible in the current system.
We are human!
President-elect Obama was elected promising to act on a new vision of hope. NOW IS THE TIME to end second-class treatment of undocumented immigrant students and stand up for the RIGHT TO EDUCATION FOR ALL. The Federal Dream Act, which has gotten bipartisan support in the past, would make federal college financial aid available to those who qualify for it and open a path to citizenship to undocumented immigrant college students.
The new civil rights movement that led to the election of Obama and which has the power to achieve everything CAN WIN THIS, BUT ONLY IF WE ACT.

This proposal could save lives...
http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/06/07/can-post-secret-and-facebook-save-a-life/
There is so many dreams on hold. Lets give innocent people a chance.
Pass the Dream Act as a stand alone bill now!
Pass the dream act!
I really do hope this Act goes into effect. I know many people whom would benefit from it, and it will do the U.S. a lot of good to have all these people who deserve it have there chance at a better life. Good luck to all!
I am a U.S. Citizen with a 14 year old child who is an illegal immigrant. He currently is a 4.0 student with asperations of joining the U.S. Military. I would like to see him have that opportunity. I feel it would be a loss to the U.S. to have someone with such great potential fail to become U.S. Citizen and disappear in the midst of this foolish debate.
Pass the act, please. It's very necessary.

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.
Students who have been here since they were children don't deserve to be deported back to their original country. If they have proved to be law abiding people and show that they have something to offer by graduating high school and wanting a higher education then they should be allowed to stay legally in the country which they are used to calling Home.
First of all, I am so grateful my grandparents decided to legally immigrate to this country at the turn of the 20th Century. I love America dearly. The vision of our forefathers had when creating this country has shaped a better world for all of humanity, which is why the USA is such a desirable country to live. The dream the Dennis’ have for living in America is nothing different than the dream my grandparents had over a century ago. However, the Dennis’ have proven before obtaining citizenship, to be valuable assets to this country. I must commend Martin and Alison for the standards they have set in our community, the way they have raised their children, and the ethical way they have conducted their business practices. I find it a true shame if DREAM Act was not passed and the United States of America would lose an opportunity to have their son, as well as other young adults in similar situations, become an American citizen.
I think that everything that is going on is unfair. Some of us were brought here without having any word. We grew up in the U.S having no rights or any freedom. Unfair, right? I am now a sophmore and have a GPA of 6.23 , what does that mean? It means im capable of being as smart as any white person here in the U.S even if i dont have papers , but at the end its all worthless because I can only go to HCC when i would love to go to a big college. I just pray that God gives us justice and puts an end to all this non sense of trying to get rid of us. Please president Obama hear us out.
