Pass the D.R.E.A.M. Act now!!!
The Issue
65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools every year!
The Federal D.R.E.A.M. Act would provide a pathway to legalization for undocumented students who entered the country before 2005, have lived in the U.S. since at least age 15, graduated from a U.S. high school, and pursue higher education or service in the military. Many of these students were brought to this country by their parents as children, have lived here most of their lives, and call the U.S. home.
This piece of legislation has until July 2010 to pass. If it does not pass by then, the bill dies and many students across the nation will be facing deportation, students who have done nothing wrong!
California State Senator Dianne Feinstein has the power to help pass the Dream Act now! Sign the petition and tell Senator Feinstein to help pass the Dream Act by calling on her colleagues to take swift action to make these students' dreams a reality!
In a nation that faces a shortage of 1 billion jobs that will require a college education by the year 2025, we can't afford not to invest in these students. We have already invested in their K-12 education. Let's not waste the investment by denying them higher education and the chance to contribute to our economy through work. Pass the Dream Act now!
