Too often. half of the children from the Hispanic tradition drop out before they are ever able to be successful. But we know that others who complete the educational system and graduatein my home State of Massachusetts. we have seen so many in Lowell. Lawrence. New Bedford. and other places who have children from undocumented families end up being valedictorians. class presidents. and extraordinary leaders. Then the opportunity comes for continued education and it is virtually closed down because they are denied that opportunity. Under the DREAM Act. this gives them the opportunity for inState help and assistance. That is what this bill is about. too.
