In doing so, the odds of the DREAM Act passing can only improve as more and more people learn who the undocumented youth are and what we are about.

Hopefully it results in more people coming out of the shadows and helping in the movement, in more people feeling confident and using their education and getting a higher education to become a valuable asset and contribute to the economy, the industry and the community.
