Blog #1 REVISED

The topic I am mainly considering for my research project is on the topic of the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act, or the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors aims to provide higher education for those students are undocumented residents of the United States. I find this topic especially interesting because it is not something that many college students think about often. We may not think about how there are students who are striving to better their education and job potential however they hit a road block after high school. Many of these students have lived their entire lives in the United States, however because their parents brought them here when they were children and were unable to obtain citizenship for them, become stuck in economic hardship. The DREAM Act serves to allow these students the opportunity to participate in higher education and gives them a path to lawful American Citizenship. I believe the DREAM Act serves as a reminder to college students to appreciate the education easily available to us while alien minors struggle for the ability to attend college.
