U.S. Senator Richard (Dick) Durbin from Illinois, one of the main sponsors of the DREAM Act, recently sent a letter to Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, urging her to defer the deportations of students who would be eligible for residency under provisions of the DREAM Act.
This we see as a precursor to his effort to get the DREAM Act passed this year. Please join us in thanking Senator Durbin for his leadership letting him know we support passage of the DREAM Act as a first step in comprehensive immigration reform.
Given the mood of the country following the divisive healthcare reform debate, proceeding carefully and thoughtfully on immigration reform is a reasonable and wise strategy.
Here is a link to see Senator Durbin’s correspondence to Secretary Napolitano.
