Ok I’m not going to lie, I’m broke as hell and I’m sure there’s other students out there who are in the same situation. Paying for school can be extremely difficult and frustrating, obviously. And if being broke isn’t enough, being undocumented means we’re excluded from financial assistance programs and most scholarships since they require [...]

Great news, on Wednesday night we got word that Jordana would be released from detention! This is amazing news and it would not have happened had many of you not stepped up to make phone calls. We know it was the first time calling for many of you so we are glad you can take [...]

New York has become a battle ground. I’m not joking. We have until June to pass the New York Dream Act and all hands are on deck coordinating events, from calling, petitioning, to over night vigils and weeks of action. As the end of the legislative session approaches, efforts to get the bill up for [...]

Probably a sign of how other top democrats are going to fall on this bill. WASHINGTON — San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro warned Wednesday that a Republican-proposed DREAM Act without a path to citizenship for children brought to this country illegally was akin to “cotton candy politics.” “It smells good, it might even taste good, but [...]

I’m running away from a thief, making sharp turns and dodging the obstacles in my way. Until I make it down a dark alley and find myself at a dead end. The thief violently reaches for me and, in the process of stealing something, notices I’m wearing an undocumented, unafraid and unapologetic t-shirt. The thief [...]

Note that it does not say, “a legislative victory for Democrats”, or “more Democrats in elected office so they can [...]

Update: Jordana was released on Tuesday, April 11th at around 8pm! She is home, however she was only given a 6 month extension and still faces deportation!

By now, you must have heard that Senator Rubio is working on his own version of the federal DREAM Act. There are many versions of the same concept floating around the Hill, but none as divisive and dangerous as this one.

Fredd Reyes messaged me on Facebook yesterday with an urgent cry for help. You may remember him as a UNC student that we helped get out of detention in Thanksgiving of 2010. Ever since then, Fredd and his mother have been on an order of supervision and check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement every two [...]

Senator Marco Rubio has joined the mad rush to introduce a version of the DREAM Act, which has been derided as “A Dream Without the Dream” by many immigration advocates, including Rep. Luis Gutierrez and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. That’s probably a fair assessment. But we should not write it off completely. Make no [...]
