These organizations see an opportunity to pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, through which undocumented students who complete high school and two years of college could gain conditional legal status and eventual citizenship.

Our strategy is to get it done in the first 100 days [of the new administration], says Shanta Driver, spokeswoman for BAMN, the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality by Any Means Necessary.



Groups such as the United States Student Association, based in Washington, D.C., also share that view. The DREAM Act is one of our top priorities for the first 100 days, says Angela Peoples, USSA legislative director.

BAMN, USSA, change.org and others already are focusing on the Obama transition effort, while many blogs from students and nonprofit groups are rallying support for January. USSA also is planning call-ins, a fax campaign and a pledge card effort to inundate Capitol Hill, Peoples says. A lot of students are mobilized, she adds.

I'm not going to stop trying, but I've been let down so much that I'm pessismistic about the first 100 days.

I can console myself with imagining the pure elation my gf and I would experience if it were to happen though.
