What is the Dream?

The dream act is bipartisan legislation created by Senator Dick Durban (D) and Senator Orin Hatch (R). It is legislation that helps pave a path for citizenship for undocumented immigrants who come here as children. (Most of whom do not understand what an illegal status is when they arrive) This act is NOT AMNESTY!! It is conditional based on if the person goes back to school to get a college degree or goes into the military. After the child gets the degree or completes 2 years of military service, they are then eligible for citizenship.

Inshallah it passes. The act is voted on today. I know there is not much time, but if you are residing this in the U.S. please call your senator and ask that he or she support the dream act.

Thank you, IMAN (Inner-city Muslim Actin Network), for giving me the heads up on this!
