The DREAM Act doesn't give "young immigrants" residency in the U.S. It gives it to illegal aliens. "Immigrants" don't need the laws to change, they're already here lawfully. Enough with the PC whitewash.
@GeauxNOSaints Actually if you knew anything about immigration policy you would understand that "ilegal aliens" is a term that right wing pundits have labeled all undocumented and unauthorized immigrants. No one other than the right wing refers to undocumented immigrants as "ilegal aliens", not the immigration courts that look at their cases, not ICE officers, no statute of immigration law defines someone to be "illegal". Your conflict with "young immigrants" stems from huge presuppositions.
@GeauxNOSaints "PC whitewash", I'd like to see you explain how you glaze over people's entire lives and experiences by labeling them "illegal" and "aliens" and not paying any attention to the economic and social capital they bring to the US. Your argument is also invalid on another premise, documented immigrants would indeed like immigration laws to change, there are currently 16 year backlogs even for families qualifying under the family reunification exemptions.

"...and supports the Dream Act, a bill that gives residency to undocumented immigrants. "
you should probably read the whole sentence first.
