V. Conclusion
A. The population of Hispanics in the United States is growing very fast. They are the most fast-growing minority, but it is a shame to know how little support the government of the United States provides them. They have low opportunities of getting a higher education because they have major financial, legal and cultural challenges. Some Hispanics were even born in the United States but are illegal because of their parents and they can’t still have the right to education. The Dream Act is the only realistic option Hispanics have seen in a while and combined with Obama’s action of stopping the deportation of young illegal immigrants they feel like they finally might have a chance to have better opportunities, which was the very first reason they moved to the United States.
