The DREAM Act and Senator Dick Durbin

Senator Dick Durbin is the lead sponsor of the DREAM Act.  The DREAM Act is a bipartisan bill that would give a select group of immigrant students a chance to earn legal status.  Senator Durbin is gathering stories of young people who would be eligible for the DREAM Act.

An individual may be eligible for the DREAM Act if he/she: 

·         Came to the United States as a child (15 or under);

·          Is a long-term U.S. resident (five years or more); and

·          Has graduated (or will graduate) from high school or has obtained (or will obtain) a GED;

Senator Durbin is asking for your help as he works to pass the DREAM Act.  Telling the stories of DREAM Act students is the best way to build support for the bill.  If you are a DREAM Act student, send your story to Dreamers@durbin. senate.gov.  Tell Senator Durbin:

·         When did you come to the United States?

·         Where did you come from?

·         Where do you live?

·         Where are you going to school?

·         What are you studying?

·         What are your hobbies?

·         What would you like to do when you graduate?

·         What are your dreams for the future?

·         Have you ever been in deportation proceedings?
