nicely done!

i think you could add some more facts about the DreamAct

so many people are against it because they think it would encourage more people to immigrate illegally (which is already a problem) and they also don't want people taking the spots in college that could be theirs

the DreamAct only benefits those who have been in the US for at lease 5 years before its passage, so it would not encourage more illegal immigration.

Thanks for your comment. Many of the interviewees for the film talk about the Dream Act - so you'll see it in the feature length! We're editing now. . so not too long now before we share with the country. Best, The "Papers" Crew

Good job! Love it, just wanted to clarify that you can go to college without documents. Other than that, this looks perfect!

Hey lil1702 -

Thanks for the comment. You're right that going to college is not legally prohibited (though if your presence and your ability to work are legally prohibited, it's pretty contradictory and limiting). But unfortunately, as far as we can tell, admission for undocumented students depends on each college's admission practices (often unspoken). We'd like to see more consistent policies that create access across all institutions. What do you think? Please share!.

I was so honered to be apart of this video! men and woman are of equal oppurtunity why not college? supporting the dream act for life.

I saw this movie my freshman year at college. I cried the whole time. Its true you don't need papers to go to college. But you do need them to get financial aid, something that was hidden from me until it was too late. I love this movie, and I'm anxiously waiting for it to shake the nation by exposing the truth of an issue that many believe they know. Truth is absolutely no one knows the process except for those who are going, or stuck, in it.

Thank you so much for creating this.

@cobugi I know the people that are against the Dream Act should actually sit down and read it. It does not mean everyone migrate to the U.S. It would just be for students that are in this limbo.

@TigerLily1809 He is planning on switching majors again but doesn't know what. He thinks he's just going to take more calculus & chemistry classes just to fill the gap while he waits for his status to change.

[TigerLily1809]

There are private universities that accept undocumented students. A guy who graduated with me wants to pursue civil engineer at the college he attends(it's a private catholic university) , but he needs to enroll in internships during his sophmore year. The lack of papers prohibiits this, so he had to change his major, he went for digital media;hates it.

I support the dream act 100 percent

[austinViolaboy]

I know exactly that feeling, I'm in college right now, and everyday I'm thinking what happens after I graduate? how do I support myself?

[aldomaldonado]

it's hard to motivate yourself to do good in high school when you know that no matter how good you do, you still can't go to college,and if you somehow manage to go to college you still cant' get a job. or even drive that's ridiculous
