Personally, I am a senior so I will graduate next year, so it sounds good to me. Also, I got an internship with excellent pay this summer, so I couldn't be happier at this time. No more whining, DACA is a huge help, but we need to keep moving forward.

What about loans to complete the 4 year? I really like this proposal overall.
I love it. What if a Dreamer has a 4 year Bachelor already. Just sit back and relax and wait 5 years?

A Dreamer who already has a Bachelor's can just wait 5 years right?

I think completing a 4 year degree should be enough to be done in 5 years. Loans?

I agree.

Why not move to a state that does?

Why do you need DACA if the Dreamer is qualified under the DA requirement?

I'm also in agreement of something that is fair and I don't oppose the educational requirements, but I do believe that once the DA legislation begins to be tinkered with AGAIN, it will fall apart. The way it is written as of now is more than fair.

DACA was a political move for Obama to win elections. They should have added the 31+ Dreamers. A high school dropout without a GED is not Dreamer.
