Abstract
For many college students, college was an easy next step for higher education, but for many undocumented students, it is just a dream. Congress has proposed the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act to provide relief for undocumented immigrants by offering a path to higher education, but as the bill has not passed, the DREAM Act is largely unnoticed by the public. Join us for a discussion of the DREAM Act and the struggle undocumented students face on their journey to a college education with a focus on the legitimacy, legal terms, feasibility, and justification for DREAM.
