I hope all of yall read this... In my opinion the original DREAM act was watered down enough. I feel the same need yall feel by jumping on the possibility of getting legalized as soon as possible, and right now Rubio's DREAM act alternative seems to be that open door. The facts are that I want to be a citizen of this country and I want to earn it, but the plan Rubio has proposed will put most of us on the road to failure. We will not be able to work outside of school so must rely on our financial aid, and I'm sure if we are caught working that will ban us from getting residency. We won't be able to get driver's license here either under those types of visa's. My dad had one and he got a driver's license and they gave him a 3 year ban. We will just be put in a temporary situation that we may not make it out of like we want. With our dreams fulfilled.

Senator Durbin and others have worked really hard for 10 years to get the current DREAM act approved. We should be grateful and stick with him and hope for Bi- partisan support. We have to reject this new act because it may solve our problem with being undocumented, but it won't fulfill our dreams!!!!! The most important part of the DREAM act to me! Enlighten yourself and think more clearly about this alternative before you support it. I personally will stick with the Durbin DREAM act. I hope you do the same. To me this is not about politics it is about my future.
