The decision to sign the bill for the DREAM Act, put California Governor Jerry Brown on the plate for making the right choice as he lifted the hopes of students who are inapplicable for any financial assistance because of their status as an “illegal immigrant.”

The DREAM Act will not only help gain an opportunity for a thriving future for determined students, but will bring a fair balance for them by offering the same chance to have a place in a classroom.

It’s a heated debate amongst citizens whether this bill will impair the bureaucracy of the educational system and cause a greater state deficit.

Arguments to the DREAM Act include that it will affect resident students by giving away their seat, when in all reality this bill helps improve the path of undocumented students to stay on guard with their choice to continue their life as a loyal academic individual.

By offering financial aid and assistance to illegal undocumented students certainly gives the chance to not only progress with their goals, but with this investment it supports the fundamental rights to allow those who have resided in the U.S. for over a decade to complete their scholastic aspirations that will one day mold a brighter prospect for California.

To propose the idea that the DREAM Act will dispose the existing dreams of legal student citizens, who are in the midst of completing their education, shouldn’t be considered when the bill will provide private funds to undocumented students.

Students of legal citizenship can Cont their dream that they’ve built throughout the years of hard work for a successful career, because the DREAM Act isn’t about garnishing promises. Instead, the bill delivers a message and it should be known as this, “resolute students deserve the right to persevere in what they dream to do.”

Let’s not condemn the fundamental human rights toward students who want to keep acquiring learning skills, just because they lack legal documentation in California or in any part of the U.S. Building a strong foundation by permitting in-tuition financial aid programs is one of the direct successful results of the DREAM Act.

Signing the bill to get our education to broaden for the sake of committed students, who happen to land under the “illegal immigrant” status, creates possibilities for California to mature as a state that stands for equal opportunities.
