This is what I intend to do. So, that would throw out the scholarship fund idea . . . I think.

Try to cover or alleviate their expenses.

Republicans would hate this. They would start calling us communists!

I like the idea but it seems rather complicated. Fraud from the organizers and applicants could cripple our foundation in no time.

I agree that it should be need-based, but I think this can only be managed well if regulated by small group of people.

We would have to review and decide on a case-by-case basis.

Anyways, I'm down for $20 per month.

Let's wait... we don't know how many of us will actually get the work permit, and let's not forget that work permit will not automatically lead us to +50k salary job.

Thanks but money cannot buy status.

We need to push for the 31+ Dreamers for relief and those who have a 4 year degree.

It IS really complicated. We would need to PAY a small group of people to do a very meticulously efficacious job.

Dude, this would intend to help aged dreamers financially (that's if they need monetary help) WHILE we spend our sweet time to push for relief for aged dreamers.

We also have to consider the fact that how would the applicants demonstrate they really need the money? You cannot always trust them just because they say they need it. That way, it will not always be going to the most needy. We also cannot have any corruption, can we? We don't want some people to keep like half the money for running this, and only the other half actually going to the applicants.
