To dream the possible DREAM
This week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., re-introduced the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would afford children of undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States before the age of 16 and have no criminal record the chance to attend college or serve in the military. After a 10-year period of “conditional non-immigrant” status, paying a fine, a rigorous background check and a medical exam, they will have the opportunity to obtain permanent legal residency.
