Dare to DREAM (Act)

By immigrationprof

There is lots of news on the DREAM Act. Here is a NY Times “debate” on the act, with contributions from Tamar Jacoby, ImmigrationWorks, USA Mark Krikorian, Center for Immigration Studies Nick, Dream Act Portal, Prerna, promigrant.org, and Hiroshi Motomura, UCLA law professor.

In addition, the College Board (this page includes a link to the report) yesterday released a new report, ‘Young Lives on Hold: The College Dreams of Undocumented Students.’  The report supports the passage of The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would allow undocumented immigrant youth to obtain legal permanent resident status if they remain in school through high school graduation and go on to college or military service. While federal law does not prohibit undocumented students from attending college, these students face major obstacles in admissions, access to in-state tuition and access to financial aid.
