I keep hearing about tax cuts and healthcare but not to much about the current acts that impact immigration. On the news immigration, at times seems like a issue of the others. The truth is, there are several Americans that are undocumented. Imagine being brought to the US by your parents as a child. You only know the US as your home. The problem is, being undocumented does not allow you the ability to legally work, access financial aid, vote or other basic needs we take for granted as US citizens. Read actual stories, or share your own.
We have an opportunity to change this for about 65,000 youth…
About the Dream Act according to Wiki:The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (the DREAM Act) is a piece of proposed federal legislation in the United States that was first introduced in the United States Senate on August 1, 200 and most recently re-introduced there and the United States House of Representatives on March 26, 2009.
This bill would provide certain undocumented and deportable alien students who…
* graduate from US high schools
* good moral character
* arrived in the U.S. illegally as minors
* have been in the country continuously and illegally for at least five years prior to the bill’s enactment
The opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or two years at a four year institution of higher learning. The students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period.
Within the six year period, a qualified student must have “acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or [have] completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor’s degree or higher degree in the United States,” or have “served in the uniformed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, [have] received an honorable discharge.”[2]
