Well what do they want when they come here?

The DREAM Act is for people brought here as children (well, under 16 years old) and have been in the U.S. for at least 5 years AND earn a high school diploma AND are willing to do at least 2 years of military service OR college.
I'm sure there are very few who decided to "come here" but were brought here by their parents. Few children decide to move to a new country which is now their home. There are many who were brought here as very young children and have no recolection of another country.
It is these young people who have "become Americanized" and are willing to "jump through the hoops" to gain legal residency that the DREAM Act addresses.
