I’ve learned a little bit more about some proposed United States legislation by having this blog. Because of the title of my blog (Dream, Act, Plan, Believe) I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from people looking for information on The DREAM Act, or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.

The federal DREAM act is a proposed legislation would provide high achieving high school students, who arrived in the US as minors. They are undocumented immigrants and have lived in the United States for a long term legal status, if they serve in the armed forces or attend college for two years.
