'The New York DREAM Act would enable 4,500 undocumented students who graduate from high school each year to pursue a college education. 146,000 undocumented youth now in New York will benefit from this law. It would allow undocumented students who meet in-state tuition requirements to access state financial aid and scholarships for higher education."

I agree with this plan because it gives an opportunity for undocumented students to pursue their career. It also allows them to have a successful future. I believe that the undocumented students should have the equal right of becoming a citizen and not deported. These students will later get jobs after graduating from college and become tax payers which benefits the economy. These students should also receive the same educational opportunities as documented students, such as access to financial aid and scholarships. In general undocumented people should be given the opportunity to become citizens.
