The National Korean American Service & Education Consortium has given a legislative update on the Dream act.
Quote:
DREAM Act: Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Representative Howard Berman (D-CA) have expressed interest in re-introducing the DREAM Act in the 111th Congress by late March. The DREAM Act or “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act” would create a pathway to legalization for certain eligible immigrant students upon completing 2 years of college or serving 2 years in the military. The bill was first introduced in 2001. Each year, 65,000 undocumented immigrant students graduate from U.S. high schools, uncertain whether they will be able to realize their dreams. These students are U.S.-raised children of immigrants who are denied the opportunity to build a future in America, the country that they call home. As undocumented students, they face difficulty pursuing higher education because they are denied financial aid, scholarships, loans, and in-state tuition rates in most states. Those that have the resources to graduate are unlikely to work in the field of their choice or study. And more tragically, they live daily with the fear of being deported to a country that they barely know. Passage of the DREAM Act is a legislative priority for NAKASEC and is a leading member of the United We Dream coalition.
