Poll: Dream Act: Should illegal-immigrant college students have path to citizenship?

As Congress is set to vote on a key immigration-reform issue, some college students are talking openly about their immigration status.

The Dream Act would give legal residency to immigrants who arrived before the age of 16, resided in the U.S. for at least five years, graduated from high school and completed two years of college or honorable military service. They would be subject to background checks and could not have a criminal record. Even if granted residency, they would not be eligible for federal grant scholarships. When enacted, the law would apply to those under 35.
