In the article "Undocumented Immigrants push Gov.Andrew Cuomo to support the Dream Act"By Erica Pearson is about how Immigrants are using all kinds of social networking sites to get Gov.Andrew Cuomo to support the dream act.There using twitter and his website to contact him.Also they have called his phone lines and its blown up with callers like these.The immigrants want financial aid for school.Most of the immigrants are poor that they can't afford to go to a college.With all the money they would need for the tuition they would not have enough for other needs.
The tuition has increased more lately and all immigrants want is a change.For example in the quote "“We are looking for TAP. It would give a lift, to get financial aid. ... We are expecting better things to happen this year.” said Alarcon, 18, a student at LaGuardia Community College whose parents brought him to the U.S. illegally from Mexico at age 11.This is a whole new year and new things should happen.The immigrants work "payed off" you would say because in the quote “We’re really making a big push for it to be included,” said Natalia
Lopez, a youth advocate at non-profit Make the Road New York, which is
hosting a Queens phone bank Tuesday.Which is basically saying they will try as hard as they can so that Gov.Cuomo will support the dream act.
In conclusion,I completely agree with what the immigrants are doing to convince the Gov. to support the dream act.I think the author wants me to feel that the immigrants are trying as hard as they can so that there dream can come true.There dream that once they will have the right to learn.That's why the act is called that way the Dream Act.Hopefully soon one of these days there dream will come true and we could have education.
"The tuition has increased more lately and all immigrants want is a change.For example in the quote "“We are looking for TAP. It would give a lift, to get financial aid. ... We are expecting better things to happen this year.” agreed with that, immigrants do want a change, they want better things to happen to them, good post Michelle!
