The DREAM Act was intended to benefit illegal immigrants who were brought here as children, the most sympathetic subset among our large illegal immigrant population.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm for the DREAM Act. It makes so much sense. Following the implementation of the DREAM Act, we'll have a case study we can point to where we can say that we provided a path to citizenship or legal involvement in the community for these young immigrants, and the sky didn't fall.
'Dream Act' kids are like all other American kids, with the exception that they have to work harder to excel in school, they live in fear of deportation, and they worry about their future.
Like so many first generation children of Indian immigrants, I learned to believe in a dream that is as much American as it is universal: a dream of equal opportunity for all based on merit, of power concentrated not in the hands of a few at the top, but fanning across a large, educated, and civically engaged middle class.
Remember the Dreamers whose patriotism was praised when the Democratic House passed, and the Senate filibustered - the DREAM Act in 2010? Washington promised a path to citizenship, not just a roadblock to deportation.
America was and is the immigrant's dream.
The American Dream never really existed. It was a marketing scam.
I've always supported the DREAM Act. I'm a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act.
The Dream Act as it's been written originally is too broad, to be honest. It basically would apply to too many people.
The threshold of the Dream Act is not high enough. One year of community college is not enough... No, I do not support the Dream Act.
The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.
