“On Thursday, July 27, a group of students who would be affected by passage of the “DREAM Act” will come to Washington, DC to plead their cases before Congress. The “DREAM Act” (S. 2075) is a bipartisan proposal that would enable U.S.-raised immigrant students to pursue higher education and earn U.S. citizenship.

Despite their status, these students (list attached) are currently attending or have graduated from college. Even though they have made great accomplishments, these students will be forced to take their talents elsewhere and leave the U.S. due to current law. In their visits with members of Congress, these students will argue that the “DREAM Act” is common sense legislation that deserves urgent consideration. For these students, next year may be too late.”
