Persuasive Letter To Student Council

After the Trump Administration announced the end to an executive branch program that has protected up to 800,000 undocumented immigrants since 2012, Democrats and Republicans have introduced several bills in Congress, each of which would provide a path to documented and legal residence. The legislation, Dream Act of 2017, primarily supported by Democrats is called the Dream Act, an acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors

In 2014, “groundwater makes up 60 percent of California’s water use” (Governor Brown Changes, 2014).

The undocumented students that will benefit from the Dream Act are students that are practically U.S citizens but not by birth. Some opponents to the Dream Act don’t realize how much these students have suffered throughout their life. The article, “Standing up for Immigrant Students,” mentions all of these hardships and struggles; children are exposed to many dangers when crossing the border, and once they settle in the U.S they face other hardships and struggles like learning a new language, meeting the expectations of their instructors, and being discriminated against (4-5). Despite the obstacles they encounter in their path, many manage the way to do well in school and many overpass American students and become leaders in their community. Being undocumented becomes a major issue for undocumented high school graduates who want to continue their education because it’s nearly impossible to attend a University and get federal help because a valid social security number is required. These young adults are some of the best and brightest students in this country;

The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act of 2011, proposes to allow children of undocumented immigrants that were brought to the United States before their fifteenth birthday who have lived in America for at least five years straight to apply for permanent residency once they graduate from high school or achieve a GED. Conditionally, these children must be admitted into a college and complete a two-year degree or serve two years in the military. They must also be free of criminal convictions and have an honorable character. In addition, the DREAM Act would reverse current law to allow states to provide taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants. An estimated 1.1-2.1 million illegal

The Dream Act would allow undocumented students who have lived most of their life in the United States and have graduated high school access to further their education or serve in the military. Only certain students are able to qualify, and under very specific and strict circumstances would they be a step closer to obtaining legal residency. The Dream Act was drafted by both the republican and democrat party in an effort to better the country and give millions of undocumented students a chance for higher education. As a result, many of these potential students have to pass several requirements in order to qualify for the Dream Act. They have to have a clean record, and must have graduated high school, or have a GED. Show proof that they entered the United States when they were younger than 16 years old.

With the federal dream act law, Immigrants that came from other countries can legally stay in the country without fearing deportation and allowing immigrants or so called “Dreamers” to further their education or academic goal, apply for a job legally and be eligible for a residential driver license although The Dream Act is very helpful there are some pre-qualifications that need to be met. According to Flair Isaiah:

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 2001, the Dream Act, also known as the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act was introduced to the United States as a bill in Congress that would have granted legal status to certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and spent all of their childhood here.

First and foremost, you did it! You survived all crammed hallways, the cliques, and all the times you thought your parents were controlling you way too much.

College truly is the best four years of your life, but there are a few things you must always keep in the back of your mind.

The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors, also known as the DREAM Act, is an American legislative proposal for undocumented immigrants who came into the United States as children to obtain a legal status if they attend college or serve in the military. However, the DREAM Act does not help all immigrants wanting an education even if they come into the U.S as young children; they must meet certain criteria. To fall under the DREAM Act, a person must have entered the U.S. before the age of sixteen, must have been here for five years or more before the enactment of the Bill, must not have committed a crime, must graduate from high school, and must complete at least two years of college or military service.

In 2001 a bill known as the DREAM act was introduced by Senators Dick Durbin and Orrin Hatch. The basis of this legislation was to aid children under the age of 16 who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents. This bill paved the road for those children to achieve a temporary resident status as long as the met the stipulations of this proposed bill. The immigrant must prove that they entered the country prior to the age of 16 and lived in the country for at least 5 years to meet the first requirement. The second condition was that the immigrant must have graduated from a

Suppose you, an immigrant, have lived in your home for more than half of your life, and was suddenly deported because you weren’t born in that country, would that be fair? In order to understand the situation as a whole, attention, care and patience should be devoted. The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, is an act that if the person meets the requirements, they are able to continue an education, are granted permanent residency, and can later transfer into eligibility for citizenship. The government argues that by granting them amnesty and a right to permanent residency, this will cause a chain reaction for more immigrants to come to the United States. Americans should be for the Dream Act because it gives opportunity
