Dream Act students long for change: 'I don't feel like I'm doing my potential' | World news | guardian.co.uk: ...The Dream – or the Development, Relief, and Education of Minors – Act would offer a path to legalisation for young immigrants who arrived in the US before the age of 16. Since it was first introduced to Congress, the Dream Act has become progressively more stringent. To qualify for a predecessor of the bill, known as the Student Adjustment Act of 2001, one had to complete the sixth grade.
As of 2010, the Dream Act requires graduating from high school and then completing at least two years of a four-year university course or two years of military service and it would not provide undocumented students with access to in-state tuition at public universities or federal financial aid.
