<p>I have a question regarding the DREAM Act (some links are provided below). I am an Indian American (Asian) who moved to the US from Canada with Canadian citizenship. My family applied for a green card and were waiting. However, two years ago, a tragedy struck one of our close relatives in Canada and my family rushed to Canada without thinking to get an Advance Parol (permit to leave country-takes about 3 months to get!). When they made their trip back to the US, they got held at the border. They wouldn't let them in at first, but at the time I was the still in the US attending Michigan Debate Camp. Since I was still in the US, they let my family back in. However, we had to start the whole green card process over again. I am a senior and applying to colleges. The green card will take another three years to get. Without it, I wouldn't get in-state tuition or be eligible for any financial aid to expensive colleges. Say the DREAM Act was passed today and was in session the next day. Would I be entitled to the in-state tuition and financial aid that the DREAM Act provides for the children of undocument workers, even though I'm not an illegal immigrant and currently in the legalization process? Sorry for the long post, I am just so frustrated.</p>
