I'm sorry, how do I go out and argue to help kids and someone asks me "is it possible that kid can be up to 41 years old?".

^^^ We have to work together in uniformity for an end result, above mentioned has a "tone" of the rhetoric we hear on FOX News, suggest we offer following counter argument:
Myth: The DREAM Act isn’t just for students, but will benefit people of all ages.
Fact: Because the U.S. has failed to address the question of illegal immigration for more than a decade, an entire generation of young people’s skills and contributions could easily be lost. The young people who inspired the DREAM Act ten years ago may now be in their early 30s and should be eligible to benefit when it becomes law. Consequently, the DREAM Act encourages immigrants 35 or younger to attend college or join the military, but they must still have entered the U.S. before they were 16 AND have been here for five years immediately preceding the date of enactment.
