No exceptions, sorry. Unless you get it waived, you're locked out.

Your prior illegal status will continue to affect you. Heck, even the status of your relatives can sometimes affect you (though not always). My father in law should have gotten a visitors visa easily since the only time he was ever in the states was legally with the braceros program and was never illegally here, but was denied and told it was because he has kids here illegally. You'll have the most trouble getting a temp visa, but with any type you'll see problems. I wouldn't risk it.

As for removing the ten year ban, the entire point of the dream act is so that dreamers can stay here. If you made them all 'get back in line', then most would be waiting 15 years to get back in, IF they could get back in at all. While some of us might be okay with this personally, we have to think of what is beneficial for everyone.
