What is the Dream Act status?
Answer:
Hey listen everyone, i understand you all angry about the Dream Act, and I don't Blame you, however, you need to understand that these people cant and are not Eligible to get any type of Federal/State Grant, Loan, or Scholarship. On the Other hand any US citizen and Resident is eligible to apply for any of those, there are so many ways for a citizen/resident to go to school. so try to understand that, everyone has the right to an Education, regardless of their "legal" status here in the States.
hopefully NO
I had to pay out of state wages, just like everyone else had to pay who went to college in another state that they did not reside in.
why should immigrants and illegals be any different?? taxes pay for public education. Public colleges are partly paid by these taxes, along with your payments. Out of state tuition makes up for your nonpayment of that state's taxes. It is fair and everyone who has not paid taxes in that state needs to pay their fair share for education in that state.
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (also called "The DREAM Act") is a bill that has been introduced several times in the United States Congress that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant students. The DREAM Act would also repeal Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which currently puts limits on states' ability to provide in-state tuition to illegal immigrant students.
The bill, in all its incarnations, has never been brought to a vote in either the United States House or the United States Senate. The text of the bill has also been included in various other immigration-related bills, including the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, which was approved by the Senate and the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, which failed to muster enough support in Congress.[1]
A very similar version of the bill, though not yet called the "DREAM Act", was introduced during the 107th Congress in 2001, as H.R.1918 and S.1291 in the House and Senate respectively. It has been introduced in both the Senate (as the "DREAM Act") and the House (as the "American Dream Act") at various times. In the Senate: S.1545 (108th Congress), S.2075 (109th Congress) and S.774 (110th Congress). In the House: H.R.1684 (108th Congress), H.R.5131 (109th Congress) and H.R.1275 (110th Congress).
The text of the bill has also been placed in various other immigration-related bills (none yet successful), including the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611) and the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348).
Given that picture at a California High School of a Mexican flag being flown over an upside down American flag, I hope it is in the Washington DC landfill.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
No...it will not be approved.
The Unsilent Majority is letting Congress know we are sick and tired of handouts to illegal aliens. No rewards except for legal immigrants.
They have rights to education in their home nations.
It makes me sick to see traditional programs being cut to fund ESL and remedial classes for illegal aliens. It has to stop.
It's only a dream. Or should I say nightmare.
No it will not be approved.
The dream act will allow financial aid to illegals in the form of student loans and work study. Also it would make them eligible for federal grants after 6 years.
Example. Joe Shmoe Illegal files for the Dream act goes to school with work study & loans and gets a 2 year degree at in-state rates. He putters around for 4 years and BINGO, he gets a green card. Now he's eligible for Pell grants and all the other social programs people claim that illegals don't get.
I haven't seen that it has moved, yet, although agjobs has been reintroduced. You can check at thomas.gov. It does so make them eligible for in state tuition in most states and would in many iterations make them eligible for federal grants, not to mention they would have automatic 'diversity preference' over non-minorities here, to the extent that still exists under the latest Supreme Court case.
It isn't fair, however, if drafted properly (only those already here, only those of classic college attendence age [not up to 30 as in the Senate Bill] and not to be used for diversity preference) I'd be ok with it. I would want border security in return, but there is a small window of time for education in a person's life, as a practical matter, and while we sort out the rest of the problem, I can see letting the kids move forward with their lives.
