Damn I posted on the wrong thread, but still what I wanted to say. In accordance to this thread this is how I think it should be...

-A 5 year visa non-renewable to finish secondary school, or enlist in the military.
-After enlistment in military and signed contract immediate ability to apply for permanent residency, or after graduating from secondary school. Failure to complete military contract revokes application for permanent residency. Failure to graduate within 5 year visa the ability to apply for permanent residency is lost, and must leave until a new visa is acquired out side of the U.S.
-Able to work in any state, have driver's license in any state, file taxes, able to travel outside of the U.S. for no more than 365 for all 5 years.

Now you can see why I still support the original DREAM act. I am not looking for immediate citizenship, but a chance to earn it. The Rubio's dream act will only change one thing about my situation, but give me a temporary visa. I want a promise that if I fulfill my part of the deal I will be given citizenship even if it takes a few years. His act does not promise this. Many of yall that are overstayers will be given another visa do your part of the deal apply for residency and become overstayers again. I don't want a renewable visa because I don't want to live on a visa the rest of my life. I want to be a citizen of the only country I ever known as my home. I know I will do my part, but this new deal does not promise what will fulfill my dream.
