There are some stipulations that one must abide by before they are eligible for citizenship. For the past sixteen years, different drafts of the Dream Act have been introduced, however none have made it far enough to be become a law. While there is both pros and cons to the Dream Act, it is a law that should be considered.
Many undocumented citizens graduate high school or obtain a GED diploma, but cannot apply to college or even obtain employment legally due to their status. Even if a student can be enrolled in college, valuable and necessary services such as financial aid will not be available to them because they are undocumented.

The DREAM Act was first introduced in 2001. DREAM stands for Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors. The act was never passed but has been introduced many times. If the DREAM act was to be passed it would give illegal immigrants the chance to attend college, enlist in the military, and possibly gain permanent residency which can lead to citizenship. The DREAM Act should not be passed because it gives illegal immigrants more privileges than it does to people here legally.
No one wants to leave their country, but war, famine, and employment can cause people to migrate to find a peaceful place to stay. More than a million undocumented immigrants migrate to America every year searching for jobs and safe places for their families to stay, Because of this, every undocumented immigrant in America should be granted citizenship. The U.S government should allow the immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S citizens. Many of the undocumented immigrants do their best to assimilate, pay their taxes, and contribute to American traditions and culture. Their contributions to our country have done so much for the people, we should be honored to have them.
The Dream Act Immigrants make the choice to up and leave their not so great home to come to The United States of America for many beneficial reasons. Whether it’s to live in freedom, escape poverty or oppression, religious freedom, or just to provide a better life for their family. There is about seven million unauthorized immigrants who is currently living in America as of January 2000 according to the Migration Policy Institute.

In recent years, much has changed in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Three sources entitled, Rising above the Gathering Storm, Innovative America, and Tapping America's Potential argue that if Americans do not improve in the STEM field our economy will suffer, so will our exports, and will heavily impact America. If we do not improve then the standard of living may fall and so will our economy. The three reports talk about using more innovation and technology, if we do this then our economy will be stable. The proponents argue that we need to close achievement gaps, improve the quality of teachers, increase labor supply, improve our international ranking, and issue more H-1B visas. Workers in the STEM field think that their employers are replacing them because the H-1B foreign workers are cheaper. Although, critics argue that the STEM movement is sabotaging other countries so, America can be ahead. But, for the US to be ahead in innovation and STEM education, we need to issue more H-1B visas. The H-1b program is for guest workers from different countries.
Many people from different countries come to the US illegally. Most immigrants come here legally, and some others come the illegal way.

If you were an undocumented immigrant being pressured, hated, and discriminated against, how would you feel? Over “10 to 12 million undocumented immigrants are here in the U.S(),” and this is a major controversial topic in our society right now and for years everyone has had a different opinion on what should be done about undocumented immigrants. As for me I am for the U.S. government allowing undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Though undocumented immigrants are not supposed to be here most immigrants are law abiding, pay taxes and here to live the American dream.

It took everyone by surprise, like the family members. The DACA was brought through both Congress, President Obama in 2012. Meanwhile, the dreamers grew terrified of how their lives were torn away.
