DREAM Army 2010

We want YOU for the DREAM Army!

Come support Michael, a 22 year old DREAMer and high school graduate who was denied admission to the armed forces because of his immigration status.

Like him, many DREAMers want to join the military so that they can serve and protect their country, The United States.

Michael will be training and preparing for service outside of McCain's office on 16th ST and Missouri, Phoenix, Arizona until the senator votes YES on the DREAM Act, and allows undocumented students to join the military.

The DREAM Act

The purpose of the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, also called the DREAM Act, is to help those individuals who meet certain requirements, have an opportunity to enlist in the military or go to college and have a path to citizenship which they otherwise would not have without this legislation. Supporters of the DREAM Act believe it is vital not only to the people who would benefit from it, but also the United States as a whole. It would give an opportunity to undocumented immigrant students who have been living in the U.S. since they were young, a chance to contribute back to the country that has given so much to them and a chance to utilize their hard earned education and talents.
