Among the current House and Senate Bills that were being debated before Congress went on vacation , one was written all the way back in 2003 and promises undocumented students to work towards their dreams of higher education. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act aka the DREAM Act would instate a provision allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to apply for “conditional” legal status upon graduation from high school. The “conditional” status could then be changed to permanent residency if the students either pursue higher education or serve in the military. One way ticket to Iraq anyone?
