I thought this was a decent side of the issue to share because it's not just politicians or news casters going off on current events but it is someone who this affects, someone that it applies to more than a lot of other people.
Below is the beginning of the article and then a link to the website that has the rest of the article and the video (sorry I couldn't attach the video - it wasn't working on you tube)

Undocumented Students Speak Out for DREAM Act
She's 25, has three degrees and teaches music to autistic children.But Gaby Pacheco is still chasing an elusive dream.
She's undocumented.
Her family immigrated to the United States in 1993, when she was seven.
In 2006, federal immigration agents raided her home, and her family's been fighting deportation ever since.
Pacheco and three other undocumented students just completed a 1,500 mile walk from Miami to Washington, D.C. to share their stories and urge lawmakers to pass the DREAM Act, or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.

i think it's great that she is standing up for what she believes in despite the consequences. people need to learn more about this subject and who better to learn from then someone who is going through it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, what a strong, young, educated woman who is doing great work and standing up for what she believes in even though it could cost her, her freedom. She as gone through so much at such a young age and is willing to fight and make her voice heard.
