Topic > Law on the Development, Relief and Education of Foreign Minors

Every year in late spring, thousands of young students graduate from high school and can't wait to start college. Most students have chosen which university to attend, have packed their bags and are ready to go and make their dreams come true. However, there are thousands of students graduating every year who have dreams as big as their classmates and will never know what it's like to attend a college or even visit a college campus. But they hope their dreams can come true by passing the Dream Act. There are many reasons why this law should be passed: it would not only improve the economy by creating new jobs, but it will help undocumented students achieve their dreams and it will show what a great nation the United States is. Studies have shown that if the law passed, the economy will improve. America needs these student talents, their gifts, and their drive to succeed. With intelligence and passage of this law, better jobs would add up to $329 billion and 1.4 million jobs in the national economy over two decades (Alan Gomez). This law benefits everyone in this country, not just undocumented youth. The Alien Minors Development, Relief, and Education Act, known as the Dream Act, is a bill that would help young undocumented students graduating from high school find a path to legal status and be allowed to continue their studies in college (What is the Dream Act). Many young adults have grown up in America, they have learned to call this wonderful country their home, and sending them to their country is like sending them to an unfamiliar place, where they will not fit in. After all, the United States was created by immigrants who wanted to be free and create a better life for themselves and... middle of paper... themselves. President Obama announced his new policy and since that day many young illegal immigrants have had the opportunity to obtain temporary work permits, while hoping for a more permanent solution (p.11). The Dream Act is the future for these young undocumented students and a boost for this country's economy: the United States can become a better nation by helping them and others. Everyone should be able to achieve their dreams, no matter where they come from, whether they are rich, poor or what gender they are. God created everyone equally, even if most people don't consider this. People come to America because it is the only country that offers many things that anyone wants and these immigrants only dream of a better life to be someone their parents can be proud of. They just want to achieve the American dream and they should be able to do it.
