My son is dating a beautiful girl who was brought here at the age of three. I am ashamed to say I never even thought of immigration before or of the consequences to the children brought here under age. She graduated from High School and has dreams of becoming a Clinical Psychologist. She is a very bright girl, unfortunately, even though she can go to college in our state, she cannot afford to pay for it and cannot get a job.

My eyes have been opened to the plight of those who cannot take advantage of the opportunities afforded by our great country. I promise to do my part to encourage our gov. to sign the Dream Act into law. In the meantime, are there things the my son's girlfriend should be doing to gain residency? I am exploring the boards, and am sure I will find the answers I need, but for expediency sake any suggestions would be appreciated.
