I found this article from nov. 10. . I trust Obama, I think his actions prove it, i know during elections politicians make a lot of promises. Do you trust him to keep his promise to us?

"Much to my husband's dismay, I have watched every Clinton/Obama/McCain debate over the last several months. When immigration became known as an ugly word, Senator Barack Obama had the audacity to say that he would work to pass the DREAM Act. He supported a state version in Illinois and he had the integrity to tell our nation as a candidate that he would work to get the DREAM Act passed when he becomes president. As many know, the DREAM Act would provide students who were born in another country but raised in the U.S. the opportunity to legalize their status through attainment of a college degree or service in the U.S. Armed forces.

The Hispanic community must choose leaders who say what they mean even when it may be politically expedient to say otherwise. This holds true for other legislative races in Texas. State Representative Rick Noriega has worked tirelessly as a serviceman, legislator and family man to strengthen Texas and will make an excellent U.S. Senator. He was the main sponsor of the Texas DREAM Act, commonly known as the "Noriega law" for its sponsor. It is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 students have benefited from the in-state tuition law and more than 70 percent have graduated.

For my part, as a Latina, a mother, a proud American, I voted for Barack Obama and Rick Noriega. I hope my three children and yours will be glad that I did..."

This seems more of an opinionated article rather that cold hard facts or any source.
Still, its good that people know about the dream act =]
