Both New Jersey senators<\/a>, Bob Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, support the DREAM Act but as of today only two<\/a> (Rush Holt and Steve Rothman) of New Jersey’s 13 Congressmen plan to vote for it. <\/p>\n

The DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act) is<\/a> bipartisan legislation that will provide children raised in the United States, whom are high school graduates but not legal residents, the right to become legal US residents if they earn a college associate’s degree or serve in the military. The DREAM Act will give undocumented students with good civic records the chance to acquire the education, skills and legal status they need to be fully participating and productive members of American society.<\/p>\n
