The DREAM Act would have former illegal aliens competing for educational loans, grants and aid with citizens, and legal residents who played by the rules.

Surely you jest. These kids have every right and opportunity to pursue higher education in their home countries including access to financial aid, scholarships and loans. The DREAM Act is an amnesty veiled as an educational "opportunity". Illegal immigrant families should not be rewarded to immigration benefits nor educational subsidies from taxpayers no matter how long they've been here illegally. Not the same opportunities?

These kids were excellent hard working students, and one of the gals was even the class valedictorian. Even back then in 1997-98, these students were working hard trying to make a better life for themselves. It's a shame that hard working immigrant children aren't afforded the same educational opportunities. Not only would the Dream Act help educate these productive hard working students, it would create more hard working productive citizens in the U.S. Everyone wins here!
