Legal Status for Immigrant Youth!!!

2009 Campaign:  The DREAM Act is the economic stimulus many communities need.  Its passage will mobilize a group of professional  and American educated individuals ready to contribute to our society and help our country face its challenges at home, including a retiring baby boom generation,  the need for skilled-workers and abroad by helping the U.S. become globally competitive.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

What is

the Dream

Act?

The Dream Act is a proposal that has been discussed in Congress since 2001. It has been re-introduced every year but unfortunately has never made it for a full vote.

Under the provisions of this bill, those immigrants who came to the United States as children and are part of our communities are eligible for temporary legal status under certain conditions. 

The students need to have been in the US  five years prior to the passage of the legislation and under the age of 16 at the time of entry.

Upon completion of two years of post-secondary education or two years of military service, if the applicant demonstrates good moral character, he or she can apply for permanent residency.

This is the golden opportunity many students hope for.
