It is expected that the program will be extended and/or applicants will be given the right to receive lawful permanent residence (DREAM ACT).
In California we have State and Federal Courts. The Federal Courts only have competency in very limited situations, such as lawsuits in which the government or foreign persons or companies are parties to the action, or in actions based in federal laws, such as immigration law.
