Should the DREAM immigration reform act be passed?

Los Angeles Times: In a Times editorial Tuesday we call for the passage of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors legislation, or DREAM Act. The bill would give undocumented young adults the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency (which can eventually lead to legal permanent residency and then citizenship) if they graduate from U.S. high schools, have been in the states continuously for at least five years before the bill's enactment, and meet certain postsecondary educational or military service requirements. There is a Times article about those students who face deportation back to the countries they left as small children.
