Concept Analysis - DREAM Act

The DREAM Act, which stands for "Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act," is a legislative proposal in the United States that has been introduced in various forms since the early 2000s. Its primary aim is to provide a pathway to legal status and potentially citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, often referred to as "Dreamers." 


"We Democrats are going to do everything we can to pass the DREAM Act quickly and make it permanent law. It's an unequivocal moral and economic imperative for our country." 
Chuck Schumer (D-NY)


"You can't blame these kids for coming here, you can't blame them for coming out of the shadows. They're trying to create a life for themselves, and we're going to have a more secure border because we're going to have a wall where it makes sense."
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
