More than 11.7 million immigrants from all over the world are among us. Without these immigrants this whole country would be a totally different place, immigration needs to be addressed by making a reform. That should be able to affect the youth, since they are our future generation and reflection of our American ideals. After making a proposal to the government they decided to give an opportunity to those immigrants in need of legal papers to proceed their education which would be called the Dream act. Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (Dream act) offers legalization of education. The Dream act should not be removed for the fact that young immigrants are the next generation, contributors with the economy, which is why they should not be separated from their families. Young immigrants are anxious to contribute their time and energy to a nation that rejects them. The only thing that keeps them behind is their immigration status since they do not have a legal status they cannot pursue their dreams by attending college. If they had legal papers they would definitely be the next future doctors, lawyers, and educators. They are the destined to be the next generation because of their dedication and they are also hardworking when it comes towards school. “Every day that goes by without passage of the Dream act is another day of wasted talent and potential thee are the next generation” (bvhfobv). There is many talented kids out there that are in need of a change in their immigration status. It is unfortunate to see such potential in front and center just letting them go just because of some reckless papers. Furthermore, young immigrants also want to make their second home feel safe and secured by joining the military forces. If the act keeps going on track that means that there would be huge number of immigrants signing up for the army, marines, and etc. As reported by Khan, “The DREAM Act promises to dramatically increase the pool of highly qualified recruits for the U.S. Armed Forces” (Khan). Mostly what Khan wants to demonstrate is the ability and how capable are the young immigrants. The dreamers are here to make a change to be the next generation, make promises to do their best anywhere they go, and to take advantage of any opportunities given. Not only would the Dream act change immigrants lives but also citizens from the United States. The economy will have a turning point since the Dream act is not free for immigrants who apply. There is an actual fee that has to be paid to send the paper work and to actually consider the application valid. According to Opposing viewpoints online collection, “The Homeland Security Department said Friday that illegal immigrants will have to pay $465 to apply for legal status in the U.S. under President Obama 's administration Dream Act” (Opposing viewpoints). Even if even is a chance where the person does not get accepted that money will not be refunded. That means the money will still be received by the government and the economy will increase because of the thousands of young immigrants applying. Either way the United states obtains the same benefits. If the government decides to give

citizens feel and believe that is a huge mistake that the government is making. Such as letting undocumented students having the same rights of going to school for free and receiving financial aid to attend college. It is not fair that even students without papers are accepted to college or even attend the same school. Another reason that they do not want what the Dream act proposes is that it would bring even beyond numerous of immigrants to the country. As Mehlman claims, “The DREAM Act would touch off an even greater wave of illegal immigration. Because the DREAM Act is being marketed as a moral imperative...” (Mehlman). Which means that the Dream act would bring unwanted immigrants. Lastly, mostly part of the nation is not not loving the idea of undocumented students getting involve. An example being a doctor or a lawyer. They also thing really bad about immigrants. They think they just cause problems, delinquents, and see them as a thing not a human
