The Dream Act says this: If you are one of those people. if you have been here 5 years or more. if you entered the country under the age of 16. if you are in high school. you have a chance. and the chance is this: Complete high school and then either 2 years in college or a college degree in the next 6 years. or serve in our military for 2 years. and we will then give you a chance to start a long path toward citizenship. That is important. I cant tell you the people who come up to me in the city of Chicago. students. for example. who are undocumented. who want to teach. We need them so badly. They want to teach math and science and critical languages. Yet. being undocumented. they can never be licensed to teach in my State of Illinois or virtually any other State. Should these young people have a chance? Should they be allowed now to become part of America and our future? I think they should. The Dream Act is part of this immigration reform. and I urge my colleagues to support it. I yield to the Senator from Iowa.
