Immigrant Student’s 'DREAM' Act Does Not Come True

NEW YORK—City Council met on Wednesday to discuss a resolution in support of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would allow undocumented students to qualify for a conditional permanent residency during post-secondary studies.

The DREAM Act appeared before the U.S. Senate as an amendment on a Department of Defense bill on Tuesday, September 21. The Senate voted 56 to 43 in favor of cloture of the bill, which means that it will be set aside with no further debate.

Advocates remain hopeful that the legislation will re-surface and gain approval as an independent bill.

“Each year, approximately 75,000 hard-working immigrant students graduate from high school across the country but are unable to access post-secondary education,

The figures I heard were that 2 million would be eligible under this nightmare. That's an overwhelming number and considering most of them would go on to colleges or universities, not the military, you can see what that would do to displace American students and overburden enrollment.

Maybe these children don't qualify as lawbreakers but they certainly are patsies for the AMNESTY pushers. Multiply that by 2 million and you've got a tsunami hitting higher education right in our own front yard.
