Even though the passing of the Dream Act is strongly supported by many undocumented students and major sponsors including Microsoft and College Board, Americans around the country are against the notion of undocumented immigration. Too many Americans believe that these people are harmful and that they will threaten the US economy by taking away jobs. But what most Americans fail to realize is if undocumented students receive higher education and can truly prosper in this country, our economy will grow strong and employment rates will not be as high as they are now. It really does not matter where these students are from, the fact is that they can provide a lot for this country. Too many ignorant Americans focus on where they came from and how they got here when at the same time, the students are the ones who are being forced to suffer without a higher education or a job. If you really think about the student situation, it really isn't their fault as to the reason why they are here. Why should they be punished for a crime they did not commit? And if they are not allowed to go to college, what else are they supposed to do? Immigration will forever continue so it does not make sense to limit their rights as well.
