Dream Act Students



This is a great example of exactly who the Dream Act would affect if it be passed in the next few months. This student received scholarships from some of the most elite colleges around the country but unfortunately she was unable to accept these scholarships, as she was not allowed. Many Dream Act students share a similar story, where they have accomplished every possible goal academically but are not able to further their education in college. I wish that all the ignorant Americans that are against the Dream Act would understand is that this is the future of our country and it is very important to not waste the potential that is available. Instead of pursuing her dreams, she along with many others, are left to live in fear of deportation. Sometimes patience can only last so long and it is not fair to force these students to sit around and wait for their fate in this country. America should provide assistance to these students because without the Dream Act, it looks like there are two separate forms of education and you can see a lack of unity among the younger generation. This is a serious problem. The Dream Act is the greatest wish that undocumented students could possibly hope for and until Obama keeps his promise to pass immigration reform, they will be forced to keep waiting.
