Dream

Lately, I had been hearing a lot about this DREAM Act law that is trying to be passed. My mom actually brought it to my attention last week. We were talking about SMU and all the tuition costs, when she asked about one of my high school friends. She asked what college he was attending, but I had to tell her that he was unable to attend college because tuition was to high and he uncapable of receiving help from the government because of his illegal status. We then started talking about the DREAM Act law and how people that been in this country most of their lives should have the opportunity for a higher education just as much as any other person.People struggling with this problem can attend college but won’t receive any financial aid.
                                        

Personally, I don’t think that is fair for students not to be able to attend college because they cant afford it. It’s putting a stop to their education and they cannot do much about it. Many of the young people that are in this country illegal have been here longer than in their native country. To them, the US is like home; they do not know another world outside the US. I support the DREAM Act that is trying to be passed and I hope that many of the young people that are illegal in this country have the opportunity to use it to their advantage. Not only will it benefit them but the country as a whole. Isn’t the United States always promoting education and encouraging young people to do the best with their life? Then they should let everyone in this country have the same opportunity to receive higher education. If they really want to make an effort to try to use this new law to attend college or enlist in the armed forces, then they more than deserve that chance. This country needs more people with the need to help their country and the urge to succeed.
