While Gov. Mitt Romney, vying for the Republican nomination, campaigned in Illinois, he spoke to a crowd at the University of Chicago. Answering a question concerning the extreme expenses of student loans and the availability of employment opportunities, Romney said, “I don’t see how a young American can vote for a Democrat.”

The DREAM Act and its supporters have caused a stir in the melting pot, and it’s time for Baylor to get cooking, too. Student Senate asked the university to take a public stance supporting the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act with a bill passed March 8, and it is indeed time for the university to do so.

I read online that the Baylor Student Senate supports the DREAM Act – a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for young people brought here illegally by their parents before the age of 15. Other criteria include: being of good character, having completed two years of university or military service and having lived in the United States for at least five years.
