Creating Opportunities for All

Each year, an estimated 65,000 students graduate from high school with a strong academic background and sound moral character. However, these students are denied the path to success available to their classmates due to the fact that they were brought to the United States as undocumented children. It was not their decision to immigrate, and they should not be penalized for working hard to create a better future for themselves. To that end, I have co-sponsored the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) which would give hard-working high school graduates with no criminal record the legitimate means to reach their potential.

110th Congress

Co-sponsored The DREAM Act (S.774) which would provide a pathway to higher education and legal citizenship for hard-working students of good character who were brought to the United States as undocumented children. It would provide a six-year window for these students to either attend school or serve in the military. If at the end of this six-year window the student has fulfilled all obligations, and has not committed any crimes, they will become eligible for permanent residency.
