They really dont want much more than just to be Americans and to have a chance to succeed. They have beaten the odds all of their young lives. The kids who would be helped by the DREAM Act face a high school dropout rate among undocumented immigrants of 50 percent. So it is a 5050 chance that they would even qualify to be part of this act. Incidentally. the dropout rate for legal immigrants is 21 percent and for nativeborn Americans. 11 percent. So already these young people would have to beat the odds and graduate from high school to even qualify to be considered. They have also demonstrated the kind of determination and commitment that makes them successful students and points the way to significant contributions they will make in their lives.
