'Higher Education for Undocumented Immigrants'

So recently I've stumbled accross a blog one of my classmates have done:
'Higher Education for Undocumented Immigrants'

            I couldn’t agree more with your article. Mexican Americans are among the fastest growing minorities in the United States, especially in Texas. They come over poor and because of the lack of resources that the states give them (such as equal job opportunities or education) they live their lives dirt poor. It is a cycle that should, and could with the DREAM Act, be broken.
            I believe that the states do not offer enough help for families that are undocumented immigrants. There are scholarships for Native Americans who live on reservations but we do not have any scholarships for undocumented immigrants? I find this hard to digest. It seems unfair and just plain wrong.
            The act allows for undocumented immigrants to gain citizenship by attending college and paying in-state tuition rates as long as they have no criminal record I think that the DREAM Act is a wonderful idea that could help actually clean up our citizens.
            It also helps pave the road for those undocumented immigrants that work hard to achieve their goals, those who deserve a chance to reach for their dreams and seize the moment!
            In short I do believe in this act and do hope it passes congress.
