I have watched a loved one struggle with the pains associated with
being brought here as a child from another country. He came on an
airplane with his mother who then decided they were going to stay
here.
That was 11 years ago and now as a 22-year old college student he is
limited to working in bad jobs with bosses who refuse to pay him fully
since he's not a resident or citizen who can fight for his rights.
He's all done at community college but can't afford to transfer to a
university. I see this strong man cry as he is faced with his
limitations in a system he has no vote in.
I stand with President Obama in support of passing the DREAM Act in
this Congress and I hope you do too.
We need to give undocumented youth a path to citizenship through
education or military service -- it's about the American principles of
hard work and fairness.
If you've already been supporting the DREAM Act, then thank you. If
not, I hope you'll reconsider before it's too late.
Thank you, Representative Matsui. I appreciate all that you do for us.
