The Dream Act

I did a story about the Dream Act this week, which I think is a topic that has been undercovered in the news in regards to the immigration debates, yet a very important topic. For those of you who don't know what it is, The Dream Act is a proposal in Congress that proposes 2 things: 1)to give in state-tuition to undocumented students if they meet certain requirements and 2) it proposes a path to residency for students who graduate from at least a 2 year college or the army if they meet certain requirements. One of the bigger issues is that currently undocumented students who graduate from college can't really do much with their education because they are not residents, thus can't get a job.
