Is the Dream Act helpful to undocumented immigrants in the United States?

After being around for many years, the bill of Dream Act has reintroduced Lindsey Graham, Senator for South Carolina and other participants. A discussion between the president of U.S and congressional Democratic leaders focused on the combination of the Dream Act and the issue of border security as the components of the overall immigration deal. It is important to note that passing the bill would come as a win for Democrats who support that the bipartisan bill will form the foundation of compromise to protect the beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Dream Act mainly aims at
