Senate. It has become a very familiar term. but when I first started. no one had ever heard of it. What I found was there were young people brought to the United States by their parents at a very early age who had. obviously. no voice in the decision. raised in America. undocumented. went through our schools. were successful. had no criminal problems. and wanted a future. They couldnt get a future under American law. The DREAM Act would give them that opportunity to move to legal status. We have already invested in these young people. in their education. so why would we want to give up on their talents by deporting them after they are educated? That is exactly what the U.S. House of Representatives has proposed.
