Recently, Democrats have decided to create a bill to give illegal immigrants who were brought into the U.S. by their parents, legal status after they attend college or serve in a branch of the military for a minimum of two years. Although the bill isn't likely to pass right away, immigrant student groups are mobilizing to have their dreams of a legitimate future become a reality. This "Dream Act" will benefit the immigrant student groups across the country, and Democrats will gain the much needed support from the Latino community in the mid-term elections.
I think this is a very interesting subject that some people can closely relate with. This issue concerns citizens as well as illegal immigrants, and I believe illegal immigrants deserve a chance to have the rights and privileges that we have and enjoy the fruits of their labor like any other hard-working American. The details on this subject can be found in the NY Times in an article titled, "Democrats Reach Out to Hispanics on Immigration Bill."
