With an astounding number of undocumented immigrants belonging to the largest minority group in the United States, close attention needs to be focused on issues that are important to immigrants. Simply because their vote will count! Throughout the course of the debate, voters and non-voters who are concerned with providing opportunities for immigrants to attain citizenship, will be observing the sentiments of the 2008 presidential candidates on the failed DREAM legislation. This legislation would have allowed children who have grown up in the United States, but are not native to the country, to attain citizenship through either military services or higher educational opportunities. The positions of four of the current candidates are as follows:
Sen. Hillary Clinton- supporter of DREAM Act
Sen. Barack Obama- supporter of DREAM Act
Mike Huckabee- opposes DREAM Act
Sen. John McCain- supporter of DREAM Act
