Excerpt:

With only a month to her high school graduation, May sees a daunting number of obstacles ahead.

More than anything, she wants to go to college. But as an illegal immigrant with a longstanding deportation order, May has little access to financial aid. If she scrapes the tuition together, there are no guarantees she will be allowed to stay in the country.

Even with a college degree, she wonders, what kind of job can an undocumented worker get?

..."They've worked hard, and they've studied. Many of these kids have lived nowhere else. They don't even remember where they came from," said U.S. Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Miami, one of the [DREAM Act's] sponsors.
