The Dream Act would be a great addition to the education system in the U. S. Students would not only have the opportunity to (legally) be able to work in America, but have access to federal aid and more scholarships throughout their college career. If undocumented student are paying taxes and participating actively, it is only fair to give them such benefits. Textbooks would be more easily accessible. Internships would open early job opportunities. Students would be able to get higher paying jobs while in college that would benefit their financial expenses.
Not only is it an asset to the education system, but to the U.S. military as well. Non-citizens are now contributing to America’s military empowerment. Even though the Dream Act wouldn’t apply to students until they have fulfilled the minimum school requirements, it would work as a powerful motivator triggering more community involvement from undocumented citizens, and higher education in minority groups that would bring more diversity to America. With this act, non-citizens wouldn’t have to pay for an education for which they can’t receive a degree and a higher paying job in. There would be no more educated teachers, psychologists, and nurses working in minimum wage paying jobs widening the socio-economic gap that already exists in the country. The working class population would diminish by a significant amount. Education for students would be cheaper because they would be granted in-state tuition.
In general, the bill would create economic opportunities and expand the U.S. economy. The Dream Act would strengthen America’s values on community, opportunity, and hard work.
