Debate On DREAM Act
Debate: Is DREAM Act a Solution for Millions of Undocumented Youth or a Funnel for Military Recruitment?
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act—DREAM—would allow undocumented young people a chance at citizenship provided they attend college for at least two years or enlist in the military. It’s been described as a dream come true for undocumented youth wanting a chance to stay in this country without the fear of deportation. But many antiwar activists warn that the bill will simply funnel more young people into the military. We host a debate between Camilo Mejía of Iraq Veterans Against the War and pro-DREAM activist Gaby Pacheco.

I think the debate between the folks at DRUM and the NYSYLC is the most enlightening as it is undocumented youth debating amongst themselves. While I respect Camilo Mejia’s anti-war work, I don’t think his arguments against the DREAM Act were affective or responsible.
