Immigration Reform
Millions of individuals and families are currently living in the United States as
immigrants, coming from different countries not only from Latin America. Families who came to
the United States with the hope of a better future and looking for the American dream".
Praying their life would change and they would have better opportunities and a better life for
them and their children.
However, many of these hopes and dreams have been truncated or have been left behind
in the way of performed because, these people have to hide themselves in the shadows, for fear
of being deported to their home, finishing well with their goals. As a result of these people they
do not have a right personality, or because they are from the low class and they come to the
United States to work to reach their goals and give their families the best, thousands of families
have been separate them and there has been much suffering on millions of people, because in our
country the lack of opportunity is evident.
Whereby millions of people who find themselves in this unfortunate situation, have
raised their voices, supporting the proposal that President Barack Obama and Senate have
developed comprehensive Immigration reform, Dream Act and DACA for the immigrants who

want to go to college which promises to change and improve their situation by expanding their
opportunities .
The DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) is a proposed
legislation that allows young and high-achieving illegal immigrants to serve in the US military
and continue with higher education. In particular, enacting the bill will allow eligible young
immigrants to attain legal citizenship status. In order to change from undocumented to legal US
citizenship status, eligible immigrant minors must pass background checks and demonstrate
satisfactory moral behavior, graduate from high school, and complete other additional
prerequisites such as either finishing military service or attending college (Durbin 78). Passing
the DREAM Act is essential to the United States Armed Forces because it will increase the
number of highly qualified recruits for the military, who are mostly high school graduates.
Approximations point out that about 800,000 young people will benefit significantly from the
enactment of the bill (Perez 102). Despite these potential benefits, opponents of the bill argue
that the DREAM Act will reduce the significance of the US immigration policies, which will
increase an inflow of illegal immigrants. This paper argues in favor of the DREAM Act because
the bill will increase the number of highly qualified recruits for the US military; reduce high
school attrition rates and increase college attendance; and impose significant benefits to the US
economy.
DACA

deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program which temporarily assists

undocumented immigrants in getting into college. It discusses the non-accommodation of the DACA in some U.S.
states due to electoral politics, the immigrants' unpopularity with Republicans, and the alleged discrimination of
immigrants with DACA status. It also mentions the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors
(DREAM) Act.

I would stress that previous studies have found that legalization programs would increase
the wages of immigrants by 20%, largely because more immigrants would achieve better paid
occupations if their status is normalized. This would have clear benefits for Mexico to improve
the economy, border security, wages and probably remittances, while force workers to return to
Mexico once, instead.
And even with the benefits that could accrue both parties, warns that the future of reform
in the House of Representatives, is still uncertain. There are thousands of families are being torn
apart every day, unable to clarify their situation in the United States.
Everyone is entitled to the same opportunities in foreign countries, not only in the US if
not us to go anywhere without dealing with border lines, skin color or creed its guests, is
immigration not a political issue, but people.
Many immigrants who came from different countries including Mexico, Central America
and South America, have been crossing to the United States in large numbers in search of jobs
and to have a better life quality. The people of Latin America strives to cross the border but the
border patrol makes it difficult not to cross.
