such a good cause i hope this will be very successful!
AMNESTY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP THE POLITICS!!!!!!!
Both of my parents brought me here when I was 8. I went through Elementary, Middle, and High School. I studied very hard with the thoughts that by the time I graduated, I would be able to enter college in order to become a doctor. I graguated June, 13th 2008 from High School and a Vocational Program and wasn't able to go on to college. I can't even find a job, but even though its hard I know that I have to keep trying. What worries me is that my younger brother is in the same boat. I just hope that this DREAM just doesn't satay a dream, and that all other students in similar situations can finally achieve their goals. All we ask for is one opportunity, that's all.
THIS WOULD REALLY HELP ALOT!!!!!!!
most children who have been brought to the usa have achieved more than any american with a citizenship in their hands. why not give these people the oppotunity, besides they are a good in society not a harm. all the americans should stop making such a big deal and allow these people to acheive thier dreams. who are we to not let them? or what are we jeoulous than most of these immigrants have done and have approach higher than any americans who were born here? please minorities are capable to do better and make a better life than any "white" (majoritie)
The Dream act will change the US for the better and thats all there is to it. Screw the haters, racist and ignorance.
I hope this passes, because every one deserves an opportunity for a higher education. Not one person should be denied a better life.
When my parents first decided to bring me and my older brother to the United States i was 2 years old. I'm 22 now and havent been back to mexico since. Everthing I know in life was learned here in the US. I grew up here. Went to school and made friends here. Growing up i never realized how much of a difference my legal states made in my life decisions. I moved out of my parents house at the age of 18 with the hopes of continuing my education. Its been almost four years now and unfortunitly many doors have been closed on me. Though, it hasnt stopped me from trying. My father once told me that if one door closes, then look for another one. Someday that doorway is going to be everything you're looking for in life. All I want is to find that door. My dreams to become someone important will never fade. I will continue to knock until someone answers.
I was born and raised in the United States; however I believe that all students should be able to have equal rights because of their hard work and dedication towards their education. I as a college student realize that education is the key point towards success and should be offer to everyone. America is the land of opportunities and the chance of going to college should not be an obstacle for illegal immigrants who came into this country at a very small age. Furthermore, our country should not deprive those individuals and support the dream act.
There exist those who have an immense desire to continue their education from years of hard work. They have a dream. Please help them by being a part of the dream that will be given to them in the form of reality.
We all came to a country known for great opportunities and we have the rights as a human being to further out knowledge and achieve our goals. We all come with our own dreams and succeed. Why should our documentation matter. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA unfortunately requires for us to have that. The congress should really take this matter seriously and think what if there in our shoes. Were all humans and there taking our rights away to knowledge. I pray for this act to pass so our dreams can become a reality and come true. we deserve the right to succeed and become leaders as well. With this act not happening it will devastate us and stop us from becoming someone in life. Everyone deserves a chance? don't we. Act now and make a difference.
we all are humans with the right to study and achieve our goals, documentation should not be an impediment for millions of students to finish their studies. unfortunately the usa requires these documents, therefore congress must consider this seriously. Congress knows that students are the future of the United States, and it critical that this law gets through as soon as possible so many students can become the leaders of the future.
We all need an opportunity to be part of this country. We need help to get Dream Act pass.
i just hope this act goes through so my friends can go to college with me...
Please pass this act, not just for students now, but for those students who have grown up and led great lives in this country!!!!
please pass this act. for the thousand of students that don't have a way of continuing their education. we just want to create a better future and work to contribute to our society. please help. pass the Dream Act
Act now!
I hope to get financial aid and go to college.
I hope this act will also benefit young people who at the moment are legally here and at school but have a difficult task at getting perminent residency
Everyone deserves a chance.
We are walking blind, but we are walking. I dream the DREAM act.
How can I become active towards this matter? I have many students that need the DREAM ACT to be passed. I want to be involved in anyway possible. You have my absolute support.
please pass this act. for the thousand of students that don't have a way of continuing their education. we just want to create a better future and work to contribute to our society. please help. pass the Dream Act.
There are many students that just want the opportunity to further their education. Please Help this cause, we are just working to better ourselves and our communities.
i am for DREAM ACT!!!!!!
I really hope this DREAM ACT passes this year. I just graduated high school a little over a year ago. I would love to be someone important. My dream is to one day become a childhood education teacher, but me and a lot more people need this to pass! GO DREAM ACT! we want this so bad because we want to be someone important for THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR WHAT WE CALL OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE WE BEEN HERE SINCE OUR CHILDHOOD WE NEED THE EQUAL OPPURTUNITY THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON HAS IN AMERICA! :)
The United States is a nation of immigrants. Unfortunately, a broken immigration system is keeping young students from achieving their dreams. The DREAM Act has to pass this year. Go DREAM Act!
I am a US Citizen, born in Los Angeles California and I totally support the DREAM Act!
I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WHEN I WAS 7 AND NOW I CAN NOT GO TO COLLEGE BECAUSE THE FEES ARE WAY OUT OF MY POCKET... ONE DAY I WANT TO BE A JOURNALIST.
our country was founded on immigrants! the United States is choking our advancement, it takes all cultures to make this nation great!
Please pass this! Just thinking about the opportunities I would get gives me the goose bumps:] Invest in me America! I'm worth it!
please pass this Dream Act and help these students
live a better life.
This idea is great and i bet it would benefit the economy in many ways. People need to open their eyes and see that this is a solution to many of our problems today. i Hope it does pass(:
This bill is what America is all about. Opportunity!
This is a great and wonderful opportunity for illegal immigrant students that deserve to live in the United States.
This bill will change the United States dramatically for the better. I support this bill 100%.
<3 Good luck! <3
Obviously these people are not looking for a hand out but a hand up. Let's help them!
people come to America for the infamous American Dream so give them a chance. immigrants come here leaving everything behind some even their families just to be able to provide food for their table. This Dream Act would people the children that were brought here by their parents become someone in life. To live their dream whether that is to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer , or teacher. i know this would help out many of my friends follow their dreams .
Government mis-manages its funds and scapegoats immigrants for it's own flaws when the majority of immigrants have only worked to make America more diverse and beautiful. People come to the USA because they want to live better. Doesn't everyone want a better life...
The Dream Act is givin thousands of kids that are struggling hope! and Hope will be the last thing to die!
Pass the Dream Act. It will benefit a lot of kids to reach their goals and dreams. It's not their fault they were brought here illegally!
This bill is so important to not only me but so many other people affected by the immigration issue. I hope this bill is passed fast so that finally we have a chance to live our lives and contribute to this country that we so dearly want to be a part of.
Please pass this important bill.
Pa'delante, siempre pa'delante.
It is very important that these particular students are able to receive a higher education. I am Title III Coordinator for a school district in Mississippi. I represent the minority students. I feel inadequate as a educator when I cannot provide additional assistance for high school aged students to go to college. These (Hispanic) students are the students that sincerely have the desire to be productive members of our American society. it is our responsibility to give them an opportunity to better themselves!!!
I'm in surport 100%. Lets Help one other in 2010!!!
I almost cried just thinking about this oppurtunity for all seniors graduating in June. Hopefully this can help current seniors get their papers to be able to attend college. Thank you the creators of DREAMACT
I have been living in the united states illegally for most of my life. I am a sophmore in highschool. I would love to be able to graduate and pursue my dream on becoming a lawyer,but for now that seems almost impossible. Most colleges wont take me in because of my illegal status. If this dream act is passed I will be able to apply for college and be someone in this world. All I want to do is get a good education to provide for myself and this country. Is there anything wrong about that?
si se puede!!!!

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.
The Dream Act should be passed. It is affecting young adults that have been raised in the United States and will not be allowed to continue their higher education if The Dream Act is not passed. Thank-you
It is ridiculous that the congress has not passed this bill yet. It is past time for them to act!
THE TIME HAS COME... LET US PROVE THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF GIVING BACK TO THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE US EVERYTHING. WE CAN NOT ENJOY THE FREEDOM THAT YOU TAUGHT US!, WE NEED LEGAL DOCUMENTS IN ORDER TO PROGRESS AND EXPAND AS HUMAN BEINGS! LET OUR VOICE BE HEARD! LET OUR HANDS DO THE JOBS YOUR CITIZENS REFUSE! BUT LET US DO IT THE LEGAL WAY! LET US LIVE WITHOUT THE "IRRUGULARITY" BANNER ACROSS OUR FOREHEADS!
The Dream Act should be passed all we are looking for is to have a better live than aour parents becuase we can see the consequences of not having an education. No one should be hold back from making their dream come true. Education should be a right for everyone not just certain people.
I'm glad to know about this DREAM Act and saddened that we are just now getting around to doing something to help these students get on with their lives. This Act should have been a place years ago!
