Dream Act Defeat and Prospects for Immigration Reform
In this video I talk about the efforts in Congress that were aimed at college level students who, for a variety of reasons mostly not of their own making, left them unlawfully present in the U.S. and blocked from seeking a higher education. The classic case is that of a child who came to the U.S.A. with an illegal immigrant parent and now many years later is unable to go to university because of what happened while the student was a child many decades earlier. I talk about the failure of the U.S. Congress to pass the so-called Dream Act and how urgent the need for U.S. immigration reform really is.
