Tell the Senate to Pass the DREAM Act Now
This month the House of Representatives passed the DREAM Act. Now the Senate must do the same. Tell your senators to support consideration and passage of the DREAM Act (the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act) during the final week of Congress. The act is designed to allow undocumented immigrant youth who were brought to the country as children to obtain legal permanent resident status if they remain in high school through graduation and go on to college or military service. The DREAM Act provides conditional residency status to undocumented students and the possibility to access some forms of financial assistance such as student loans and work study.
