Stop the Dream Act?

It really does make me wonder why the Dream Act has been pending for so long. Are Americans really that inconsiderate to disallow a certain group of people to pursue the American Dream? Because that is their only goal. America was once a land of hope and opportunity and it was a place where anyone could come to try to better their lives. For a long time, people all around the world from developing countries look to the United States for a better chance to succeed and if the Dream Act is never passed, the pursuit of the American Dream would come to an end. Many Americans who are against the Dream Act say that it will significantly increase illegal immigration but in the last 20 years, immigration has increased dramatically in the United States and who is to say that one legislation bill will cause even more. It's not a fair argument when you look at how many people have already come here in recent years. As I said before, immigration will forever continue and it is almost impossible to stop immigration. Most importantly, undocumented students are not treated fairly and the Dream Act is the only solution for higher education. This is an example of how the Dream Act is portrayed by ignorant Americans around the country...
