DREAM ACT
- av: JoinJu
- mottagare: U.S. Senate
Each year about 65,000 U.S --raised students who would qualify for the DREAM Act's benefits graduate from high school. These include honor roll students, star athletes, talented artists, homecoming queens, and aspiring students, doctors, and U.S. soldiers. They are young people who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives and desire only to call this country their home. Even though they were brought to the U.S. years ago as children, they face unique barriers to higher education, are unable to work legally in the U.S., and often live in constant fear of dection by immigration authorities.
DREAM Act students should be allowed to get on with their lives. If Congress fails to act this year, another entire class of outstanding, law-abiding high school students will graduate without being able to plan for the future, and some will be removed from their homes to countries they barely know. This tragedy will cause America to lose a vital asset: an educated class of promising immigrant students who have demonstrated a commitment to hard work and a strong desire to be contributing members of our society.

Dear Senator: (NAME)
Approximately 2.8 million students will graduate from United States High Schools this year. Some of them will go on to college, join the military, or take another path in life, eventually becoming active members of society, all equally American. However, in this sea of individuals, a group of approximately 60,000 will not have this opportunity, not because they lack motivation, but because of the status passed on to them by their parents.
These often highly achieved individuals cannot attend college, drive cars, enlist in the armed forces, work, or otherwise live a full life. Children that grew up on American soil, respect the laws of this country, and want nothing more than to be recognized for what they are, Americans, bear an inherited title of an “illegal immigrant”.
I am writing on behalf of these thousands of bright American students who are prevented from pursuing their American Dream of obtaining top-quality education because of lack of legal immigration status. Many of whom present unique talents, are among the best in their schools, perform various forms of community service and graduate with honors. Despite the difficulties associated with lack of legal immigration status they share the love for this Country, hoping that one day, they will receive the chance to become an equal part of Society.
(Personal Story)
That is why I think that students who were brought to this country as children and are educated people who want nothing more than to better this country should have a right to realize their American Dream. Consequently, many of these students have a power to positively influence America’s future if only they will be given a chance. In fact, this chance is in your hands, dear member of Congress. I believe that our Nation should take advantage of their expertise, and that is why I urge you to support the legislation in Congress of the Development Relief for Alien Minors Act, and its related bills (S.774, H.R. 1221, H.R. 1275).
That is why, Dear Senator ______, I urge you to let the American Dream live on.
Sincerely,
______
