El proyecto de ley estadounidense llamado "Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act" (Ley de Fomento para el Progreso, la Asistencia y la Educación para Menores Extranjeros) se conoce también como "DREAM Act", que en este contexto puede traducirse como "ley por un sueño". A partir de este acrónimo "DREAM", se ha creado una nueva acepción del sustantivo "dreamer": se trata de un juego de palabras que aúna los significados de "potencial beneficiario de la ley por un sueño" y "soñador", término estrechamente vinculado a la historia de Estados Unidos y su sueño americano. 1, record 1, Spanish, - so%C3%B1ador
