Minnesotan for the DREAM Act!


It concerns me that Minnesota high school students who were brought here as undocumented children many years ago still have to pay out-of-state tuition rates to attend college in Minnesota, even though many have lived here for most of their lives.
That’s why I support the Dream Act — a viable solution to this problem. The act would grant undocumented students that demonstrate good moral character a conditional status for six years in which they have to obtain either a two- or four-year degree or enlist in the military. After this period, the immigrants would be able to apply for citizenship. This seems like a no-brainer.

No brainer for Andrew Dahm, a student at the University of Minnesota who authored this letter to the editor of the MN Daily. Thanks for the support, Andrew!
