DREAM Act Appears to be Dead




The DREAM act, which one of Obama's ideas appears dead in Congress. The Senate Democrats have removed it from consideration, so it probably won't be considered again until next year. The Dream act deals with the hot issue of immigration, because it appears that just trying to deport all of the illegals isn't working. The DREAM act says that the illegal immigrant goes to college of joins the military then they will become a legal US citizen.

I think this is probably a bad idea. If all they could do is join the military, then it would be okay, but the college path is not the right one. All of the illegal immigrants are poor, so they will need a lot of financial aid. They will drain all of the money that US citizens should be receiving. This would be like a reward for the illegals, and punishing those US citizens that have worked hard and deserve the money.
