The Dream Act

​REFLECTION

Explain your decision making for choosing the bill.


I know that there has been numerous discussions as to whether immigrants should recieve the same rights and education as actual citizens and after hearing Herman Cain say that he would put a gate around the border I felt the need to dig deeper into this subject

Why did you choose the particular presentation format?


I chose to do this in a format of a video because I could non-verbally communicate my ideas just as effectively as if I actually spoke in front of a class

What challenges did you overcome in completing the project?

I overcame several challenges of finding the correct research because the Dream Act has been debated in other states for many years so I had to find information about my own state and then use that information for my project.

How would you do the project differently if you had to do it over again?

If I had to do the project differently I would do a bill that was passed at least 20 years ago.

What did the research and investigation tell you about the creation process... from idea to bill to law?

It told me that we need to think for whats best for humanity rather than what is best for certain nationalities. An education should not be pre-determined by the place of birth.

Was the process easier or harder than you imagined based on your particular bill/law research?

It was actually harder because I thought that since it was debated in several other states that I could easily find information. But I soon found that the states that already passed the Dream Act hadn't debated it as extensively as Pennsylvania has/had
