The Dream Act

A recent survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation studied the public opinion for the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act is a federal legislation that would provide undocumented students brought to the U.S. as children with the opportunity to earn permanent legal status upon meeting certain requirements.

The results from the survey showed 70% of Americans favor the DREAM Act an increase in support compared to results from a similar 2004 poll which placed public support at 58%. Perhaps another small step a more peaceful strategy towards the immigration issue. Would you support this act?

This week for class we are giving a 5 minute presentation on our topics, my being Immigration. We must present from our topic is anything we learned from our experience and research. And it got me thinking well after researching and reading polls focusing around laws, views, and variety of effects immigration has on a country, what truly have I learned about immigration? And for the longest time I was having a hard time choosing what I was going to discuss. Until I found my answer after editing my paper. That first immigration is inevitable, that all countries deal with the migration of different cultures. And what I learned is how this issue is compared across states. Going through how different countries are being viewed by their desirability, the graph below is one of the ones I'm going to use in my presentation.
