How can you condemn a child to poverty because you are unwilling to allow them to continue their education because they are illegal, and furthermore the actions, which made them illegal, were not even their action but rather their parents? How can you rightfully sit back while back while this atrocity happens so often? All this could be solved with the DREAM Act that would be implemented to allow for illegal immigrants (who fit the required criteria) to be allowed to pursue their secondary education, go into the military, and begin their track to earning citizenship.

And unless something like the DREAM Act becomes law, you and they will become part of a growing class of marginalized and unprotected Americans without papers”, how as a nation can we let all these possibly great minds go to waste on a simple matter of being born on the wrong side of the border. To me the DREAM Act is a great way to find new great minds in our immigrants and instead of fighting so hard to push them away, we should embrace them as one of our own. In this new flat world our nation should take advantage of any opportunity to get ahold of an edge over our
