The Dream Act will make it possible for several immigrants to become citizens of the United States. The Act was proposed to ensure that children of immigrants get a quality and affordable college education.

The Dream Act is geared towards minors who entered the United States when they were under the age of 16. The minors will have to have been living in the United States for at least five years. It also requires that the minor receive a high school dipolma or GED. The bill will also consider if the minor's behavior and moral character in its decision to grant citizenship to the minors.

The bill was developed to keep these children from having to pay unfair foreign student's tuition for a college education when they have been in the US for most of their lives. The tuition for a foregin student is twice that of an out of state student.

Education is important to everyone and it is something that we can not do without. It is up to us to ensure that all children get a quality affordable education.
