Under 18, by law is a minor, does not matter if age is 17 years and 11 months! Please learn to be appreciative of fellow undocumented folks who may gain legalization from this DA bill.

DREAMERs had no choice in coming here, and they can't even remember their home country: that's the main rationale behind the DREAM Act passing.
17 year olds had a choice when comming here, and they do remember their country of origin. The rationale applies less.
I'd be happy for fellow DREAMERs if the age restriction was changed, and the DREAM Act passed like that. However, it is riskier. I wouldn't say it's selfish though.
