The Dream Act What is the DREAM Act?

“Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors” Legislation that would provide a mechanism for students and other young people who are undocumented and who have graduated High School or obtained A GED. It applies to persons who came to the United States as undocumented immigrant children and who have since grown up here and who generally have no way of obtaining legal status to continue their education or to work legally. The main features and benefits of the Dream Act include: Permit certain immigrant students, who have grown up in the U.S., to apply

for temporary legal status and to eventually obtain permanent status and become eligible for U.S. citizenship, if they go to college or serve in the U.S. military; and

Eliminate a federal provision that penalizes states that provide in-state tuition without regard to immigration status.

Essay Prompt Many believe the Dream Act is a good way for

young people to obtain legal citizenship if they were brought to this country illegally as children. What is your opinion on this issue?
