i heard about this from Wongfu its very touching and amazing :) never give up!
+oil!!
DREAM ACT!! THESE PPL DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY AS ALL OF US.
Wow, I really didn't know about this happening. I'm really ashamed that I was clueless about this and for that I apologize. I wish you all the best!
In this country we have a "problem" with illegal immigration. Why don't we make it easier for educated, lawful student be become kegal residents? This plan makes sense and Congress should, if not approve this act, at least take this idea and build upon it.
This country was built by immigrants and has always been known as a place of freedom and acceptance. Recently though, this image has been blemished and has begun to fade. Congress, I ask you to save our countries international appeal, for it may save our country as a whole.
Got this from Wong Fu Productions =]
Everyone deserves a chance! Keep fighting!

Please pass the Dream Act!
"We're given second chances every day of our life. We don't usually take them, but they're there for the taking." ~Andrew M. Greeley
"Chance corrects us of many faults that reason would not know how to correct." ~Francois De La Rochefoucauld
So why not give all these people a chance to grasp this second chance to be able to live a better life?
I heard about this from WongFu, and this really touched me. DREAM ACT FTW! (:
Even though I'm a legal immigrant, not much others can have the same luck and chance that I did, and still do. I wish everyone all the best, and I think everyone deserves a chance.
good luck ! fighting !!~~ ^^
Keep Fighting for your rights and dreams!
i had a friend who i care deeply for, used to be an alien, and she tells me of the hardships she had to go through, plus her siblings that came to the U.S. i'm very grateful to know such a great friend like her and i will sign this act. :D

(:
From WFP
Best of luck. (:
We need to understand that America is a country that people can lean on. If we send people away from their opportunities then how can we say we are the best or even a good country.
All the best!!
Im only 14 years old.and im already thinking about my future here in the united states .
i come form honduran roots and im proud too me latina i hope that we get the dream act since we work hard to get to were we are and i dont think its fair that we cant follow our dreams just because we are not illegly here.
were human being too and we deserve to be treated like animals we need the samw right that a american has
im a true supporter of the dream act!
Lets use our resources wisely and quit deporting hard working immigrants who are only here to better themselves and their families!
the dream act is a way for some of the illegal immigrants in the UNITED STATES although i think a general legalisation would be better i think something is better then nothing. GOV> wise its a smart way to just bring in a legal way the people who are more acquainted with the gov. and its culture
If I could turn back the hands of time where I was 14yrs old I would I have said no to my parents and lived in the poor country where I came from and not worry about when I will have a change in luck
PLEASE PASS THE DREAM ACT, JUST REMEMBER, THE ONES YOU HELP NOW, WILL NEVER FORGET.
I support this because illigal immigrant children never had a say so in deciding if they wanted to move to another country. I know how hard it isto feel like you belong in a society and have been raised in it and consider it your own although because of your migrant status nobody else looks at you this way, they only see you as an illigal immigrant. Hopefully if the Drean Act gets approved it will give thousands of illigal students the opportunity to better themselves and this country.
I'm seriously affected by this. We were not brought under our consents to this country, we deserve some consideration. I'm facing deportation and I've lived here for 10 years, graduated from high school, donated to St. Jude children research hospital for several years.... Just to experience a normal life but now I'm running out of time. Help.
they should pass this!
i support the dream act because i know a lot of students who dream of going to college or university and cant because they are undocumented. i am a member of my schools MEChA club and we are trying to get a lot of petitions signed so that the dream act can be passed!
The City of Lancaster Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting its 1st annual Diez y Seis event Saturday, September 18, 2010 at 10am-2pm at an outdoor location. Please let me know if someone from your organization will be interested in coming out and setting up a vendor booth.
Im trying to achieve a college education.
Please pass! The DREAM ACT! This would mean so much for every child out there who have dreams and hopes for a better future and wishes for nothing more! My boyfriend just graduated and wishes for nothing more to major in Physics and become a Physics Professor at a university ever since he was little he was a genius that went through hard ships. I want him to achieve that dream and every day I see him wanting to cry because he won't get that chance. Please let him have that chance and every other child stuck in the same situation a chance too!
go dream act!
i hope it comes true.
As a retired high school science teacher after 37 in the classroom I urge the Congress to pass the DREAM act to protect promising students from the disruption in their lives caused by forced deportation. These young people are an asset rather than a liability for our country and should be recognized for their potential to be the very best kind of citizen. As a teacher, I worked with my students irregardless of their personal history or origin with the single goal of helping them prepare for a worthwhile life. The idea that we in this country can condemn young people who have done everything we have asked them to do in their schooling to leave this (their) country against their will is cruel and inhumane. Surely, we can do better. Pass the DREAM Act.
How about instead of deporting immigrants who come here to better their lives and gain more oppurtunities for their families just because they are not legal residents, we deport all of the criminals in our jail systems who are citizens. Make room for people who actually want to contribute the the growth of our great nation.
I am an undocumented student and I want to get my permanent residency because I've been brought here when I was very young. It was against will by my father, there was nothing I can do. However, now I see this place as my home.
I work with high school and college students to help them afford post-secondary education. For students who are undocumented, an affordable college option is very hard to find. With some students, it is possible to find scholarships and resources for them to pay for their college education - but what will happen after they graduate??? The DREAM act can change that, and allow them to contribute positively to their communities.
Please pass the Dream Act NOW! As a middle school teacher I have met and taught so many wonderful students who are undocumented and deserve to be citizens! We cannot afford to lose these wonderful minds and talents to other countries! Please act now to make a path to citizenship for these young people! Thank you!!
Dream act needs to be started. have faith in god all who are in need of the dream act.
For the good of our country - we need to educate EVERYONE. The Dream Act is a smart national policy that reinforces our sense of nation. Let's leverage all our assets as we look to extend America's global leadership into the 21st century. Effectively EDUCATE all kids for a more prosperous and powerful United States of America.
this does not even have to go through congress, the president should just go ahead and make it law... why keep playing politics with young people lives?? make it law for these kids to pursue their dreams, we put them through high school and then drop them off in the streets to commit all sorts of crimes... get them to college please and we want an educated america and be able to compete with other countries. YES WE CAN, I still have HOPE.
Making a path to citizenship for children to follow will help keep them from falling off and into prison cells.
viva la raza pass d dream act si se puede
say yes to the DREAM ACT so that we all can have a better future..god bless america and we the latinos!!...si se puede
The Dream Act will change everything for those that were brought to this country to be someone. I was brought at the age of three now im 18 trying to find a way to keep my mother proud of me and be someone in this world. I love my mom and will keep going until i have shown everyone that i have went beyond high school and that wasnt it for me that i kept studying even if i pay double maybe even triple what the out of state tution fee is. Please pass the Dream Act so that many others like me will have a better future and our hard work will be worth everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These young adults deserve the chance to make their dreams come true.
I believe that everyone who wants to prosper and who has the drive to become someone in life should be given the opportunity to do so. Education should not be refused to anyone because the truth of the matter is that many who can go to college after high school take it for granted. I went to high school with many students who would have had bright futures if it weren't for their legal status here in the United States. All of them were brought to the United States as children. They know no other country as their home. In fact, if you ask them, the United States is their home. I believe that if they are given the opportunity to become citizens of our country they would not only contribute positively to our society as professionals but they would also be proud citizens of this country. Let's make their dream come true.
Wow its amazing how many people are in the same situacion as me.. i was brought here by my parents when i was 2 years old now i am 16 years old..and i already suffered something i wouldnt want anyone to suffer..where i live there is a summer program in a community college for high school students and i really wanted to go, but i couldnt just because i am an immigrant, and its not fair cause i have really good grades...i really hope they pass the dream act, just like Maria Del Rio commented we are not here to hurt anyone, we just want a better future and if seeking for a better future a crime then i am totally guilty...please pass the dream act!!!

Please pass this Dream Act, as I feel it is urgent to help keep these good family community members together.
My husband was brought here at 3 years old. We have a lawyer and he says we have to go to Mexico! I have been praying everyday about the dream act. This will help our family and our economy.
I am 30 years old, and the dream act would finally complete me. The sorrow and depression of being undocumented can only be understood by people that are going through the same, and to a certain extent by their documented family members. We still have to eat, we still have to pay rent and even taxes. I have to feed my children and make a living somehow. I want to be an equal participant of this society. I'm not asking for a handout or for pity, but instead for fairness and acceptance.
Our founding fathers would have found it incomprehensible that anyone would oppose this legislation. To consider that someone would put their life on the line as a member of the military without a path to citizenship absolutely shows no gratitude for the sacrifice they are willing to put forth. Opposition to the Dream Act goes against the grain of the "give me your poor, your hungry, thirsting to be free" sentiment that once offered a path forward for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Europe and other foreign countries. The story hasn't changed from the early 1900's. But now, the immigrants are from other places, but with the same thirst. Most of the young people who this bill applies to did not come here of their own volition, they came with their parents. They have lived along side of us, as part of us, and have been collectively raised by us as our children. They are, in effect, ours, and we have no other honor bound responsibility but to embrace them as our own, and march to the future as a family. My distant ancestors came here as what would now be considered illegal aliens. To deny these children, would be to deny our own ancestors. We weren't turned away. These children should likewise be accepted in the same way. William McCown
This is a chance for young kids to prove to themselves to the world that they can do it! this is not about where you are from or where you were born, its about the drive that these kids have! to do what they want to do to be succesful in their lives. WE want to be better people and the Dream Act will help us in realizing the potentional we have!
I believe that students who have grown up here in the USA should be given a chance to become citizens, provided that they are in good standing, and want to become integrated as Americans, and not as "foreign national" living in America.
My hope is that this bill will give that opportunity to these young people
The youth of illegal immigrants are victims or circumstance and should not be punished for the actions of their parents. They had no choice...let's give them a chance!
I support this act for all the people who had no choice in their future. Even though it doesn't seem to directly effect me, it could give my boyfriend the chance to go to college, support me and a family, and live his dreams. I believe it will be a great change and opportunity for the US!
I want the DREAM ACT to pass because I want to go to college and become someone in life.
I will keep praying that our God will show us once again his power in this situation and that he will touch the hearts of the Senators and Leaders so that they may pass the Dream Act because it will help thousands of great students with high GPA get into college, so that they may pursuit their dreams and aspirations. Many of these students want to benefit the US with their knowledge, but cannot because of the immigration rules and guidelines.
I know that the best is yet to come for all those who are waiting for this miracle.
The day the DREAM Act is passed is the day all will rejoice. Can't ask for equality in everything, but if it's to better oneself, why not allow everyone the opportunity?
I want this reform to past so i can go to college
I support this reform, and i want this reform to be accomplish, because many student like my self are suffering by this terrible laws that U.S government are doing this to students that want to have a dream like me. So i want my dream to be accomplish and i want to be some one in this country.
Please use your legislative power to help young high school students who fall victim to the deportation back to their home countries when their families remain under Visa protection.
The DREAM ACT should pass because it would help alot of people like me that, couldn't go further with my education to actually go further in life and succeed to the max. It is very important to us in order to get ahead without any road big blocks.
Ted Fu also inspired me to sign and support this.
I think that the dream act is very important because it will help make other children's dream of becoming someone important in this country real.This will give many illegal childern many chances of having a bright future. So i think that this program is a new start to our country.
Dream Act needs to be passed as soon as possible. Please let this act pass!!
This is act should be passed! Not only is it economically benficial but its basic logic! Think of it like this. What if your parents told you that you were moving? Even if you didnt want to would you have a choice? Probably not, so why should these youth, my husband included, have to pay for what their parents did? We wouldnt be punished for our parents killing somebody would we? They need to pass this act, like NOW!
We need this Act in order for justice to be done for all Americans.
everyone have a chance to do something with their life rather then get stuck in the middle. They didn't choose this life of getting stuck in the US by choice it was given to them so this should be passed for the less fortunate.
I could not imagine a more reasonable proposal that would enrich this country, which is also quite difficult to abuse.
I am a citizen born and raised here .I no many young teenagers that graduated with my kids last year. That cant plan for the furture. That realy saddins me. This act would be a blessing!!!
This is essential to the future of America. I work in schools where bright children face a horrible future. We need this workforce. Please enact the dream act.
The Dream Act should be passed, there are so many students like myself that need is law to be passed. I'm fortunate to be attending a community college for now, but I don't know for how much longer my parents can help me out, even with loans. The Dream Act, would really help me and others who also came to the US.as children and graduated High School here, finish our careers.
my biggest fear is gradutating because i know that after that happens i have little cahnce of succeeding without a legal status in this country no matter how succesful i am now im high school this would be the biggest help in the world i support the Dream Act.
WE need this law to pass!.. We want to be Americans and be part of this beautiful country
The Dream Act will give me a second chance. I was brought to the United States when I was only 12. I finished high school and attended a community college for two years.. However I had to come back to my home country because I could not afford a 4 year school. This act would give me a chance of going back to the place that I love and cherish.
Pass the Dream Act.. It is a our second chance...
I want earn my dream i need a chance.
Ted Fu inspired me to sign this.
The Dream Act must be passed so that my adopted grandson, Mark, can complete his studies and not have to return to England when he is 21. If this should happen the Dennis family will be split. Steamboat would lose a hard-working consciencious family who give greatly to the community.
My parents brought me to the U.S in 1995 if been here ever since.I love it here and i don't know anything else tgan here,if I was to be taking back to mexico I wouldnt know where to go.I graduated in May of this year and I really wanted to go to college but I can't go because I am illegal,it really breaks my heart when my parents can't do nothing about it
I'm foreign on both sides. I hope this bill passes soon.
I am a junior at CSU Long Beach majoring in Social Work and getting a minor in Psychology. Beside all the stress that school can cause to any college student, my biggest stressor is the current fact that I may not be able to fulfill my dream of working and contributing to my community like everyone else. Despite my fear and anger I will continue to fight for my dream because MY DREAM COUNTS TOO!
I was born in mexico but raised in the usa so i am not just a mexican i am a MEXICAN-AMERICAN.
I support this comprehensive BIll!!
Graduating from high school with honors had given me strong hopes for building my future. For the past three and a half years I have been an "AB540" student at a local community college; completed my GED. Where I stand now, gives me no opportunities to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. The DREAM ACT needs to be passed now! I, and many other "AB540" students need to move on.
I am also the byproduct of this lack of inactivedness. Please help Mr. President. I have a Masters in Education and can not teach due to my lack of a greencard.
Thank you
I am in support of the Dream Act. I was born on the fourth of July, 1993 in the U.S. My brother was born in the United Kingdom and moved to the United States when he was four months old along with our parents. He and my parents have been on visa's for nineteen years, yet it is still impossible for them acquire citizenship. My brother is nineteen and as it is now, he can not be on our parent’s visa after he turns 21 years. The DREAM Act would allow him and many other kids to have a pathway to become citizens.
We are here to contribute to the united states. all we ask for is an opportunity to demonstrate that we are all Americans who love this country and who just want to be a part of it. we are contributors please give us the opportunity to succed!!
My nephew has lived in the USA since he was 4 months old. He has studied hard at school and is now attending Boulder university on a four year course. Because of the laws of the USA he will have to cut short his course when he is 21 and return to a country he hardly knows,leaving behind his family and not being able to complete his Batchelor degree. Surely the USA should be encouraging young people like Mark to stay in the USA and complete their studies not turning their backs on them. Please let this Dream act proceed and stop splitting families.
To be able to have the persistence required to wait for such a monumental bill is an amazing feat by itself. However, to have that persistence along with the willpower and determination to follow your dreams and never allow others' actions to waver your ultimate decision of becoming successful.... that makes me believe that, one day, the world will be a great place because of these incredible people.
We should have the opportunity to dream of our future like all of our other classmates.
The Dream Act would make the dreams of my sister and family, a reachable goal.
This is one of the most important things that Congress must approve. Some undocumeted immigrants come to the US for a safer life. They want to be a part of society and work for the greater good. Many kids have worked hard through school and as they are ready to graduate they can not continue to higher education.
Please pass the dream act, this is going to revitalize our country
I have worked with many outstanding young people who fall into this category. Many of these are more conscientious and are of moral character than some native young people who take their citizenship for granted. We need Dream Act qualifiers to stay here and share their goodness with America and the world.
i strongly support the DREAM ACT. and I really hope President Obama pass the plan as soon as possible in order to let the country allow any of us being able to go to college for achieving further educations and degrees. so many people like me have been living in the darkness, and we need to see some changes of a new immigration policy. please pass the act.
The gifts that the undocumented immigrants bring to the nation are overwhelmingly greater than the cost that is perceived. We cannot afford keeping a section of our population in the the shadows of ignorance. Education is the key for the success of our state and our nation.
Let the children live their dream. Nothing should stop them from getting a better education.
We need to remember that we or our parents or our grandparents or whatever were once from a different part of the world, who came into America looking for freedom, and looking for a way to give future children the opportunity to do something that maybe there parents or grandparents couldn't do.
Shouldn't these people have the right to be given a chance to live a better life like we did???? =\
