Common Sense Talk Radio
Hosted by Kayse Jama and Grassia Melendez
Today, Kayse and Grassia welcome some of the producers of the new film "Papers: The Movie" that deals with people's lives as they turn 18 without "Documentation." In the Studio today were José Luis and Manuel Morales, student producers, and Eric Ward by phone from Chicago.
The DREAM Act ‒ introduced by Senators Richard Durbin of Illinois and Richard Lugar of Indiana and Rep. Howard Berman of California
and Lincoln Diaz-Balart of Florida‒ can solve this growing problem.
Under the rigorous provisions of the DREAM Act, undocumented young people could be eligible for a conditional path to citizenship in exchange for a mandatory two years in higher education or military service. Undocumented young people must also demonstrate good moral character to be eligible for and stay in conditional residency. At the end of the long process, the young person can have the chance to become an American citizen.
