Senator Hutchison Denies Existence of DREAM Act, Refuses to Meet with Hunger Strikers

Media Contact:

William Wise. 210.232.5893 San Antonio

Flavia de la Fuente: 949.910.6362 Austin

On day 6 of the hunger strike in San Antonio, Texas, participants Pamela Resendiz, Lucina Martinez, Martha Quintanilla, Pastor John Fagans, and Felipe Vargas met with Senator Hutchison’s State Director Andrea Ball, Julian Villarreal of the Harlingen office, and the San Antonio office director.

During that meeting, Andrea Ball, Senator Hutchison’s state director, claimed that Senator Hutchison’s position is that the DREAM Act does not exist as a bill, and that therefore there is nothing to support.

The hunger strike participants are undeterred:

“We’re confident that when we meet with Senator Hutchison in person, and show her the text of the bill as it exists, that she’ll express support for the DREAM Act and the principles of hard work, dedication, and service,” Pamela Resendiz, undocumented student and hunger striker.

“Senator Hutchison supports real, common-sense legislation that puts America back to work. The DREAM Act is based on those principles, so we know that when she meets with us and sees that there is a bill that addresses immigration reform, she’ll promptly support it,” Martha Quintanilla, student, ally, and hunger striker.
Obviously all of you know that the DREAM Act does exist. If you are concerned, you can check it out for yourself at Thomas.gov bill number: S.3827 for the lame duck session and formally numbered S.729.

Please Call Hutchinson's office at San Antonio office at 210-340-2885 tell them the DREAM Act does exist and that Senator Hutchison should support it as it's written.


If the San Antonio number above is busy you can call her other offices:

Washington D.C. 202-224-5922
Austin 512-916-5834
Dallas 214-361-3500
Houston 713-653-3456
Harlingen 956-425-2253

I'm not concerned at all, I think the chances are more likely that this such senator won't be supporting the DREAM Act. Its really kind of sad though to know that you know more about today's legislation than our own freakin senators. Giving of course that there are thousands of bills and acts out there, of course they can't keep track of every single one. But something as important and "controversial" as the DREAM Act. WoW ...unless gebodupa is right and this is just some kind of strategy of some sorts.

She technically might be right. I checked, and she wasn't present on the last vote

Kidding me? I've spoken to his reps many times about his position on Dream. Maybe they were all talking out of their ass.

This bill does exist. It was discussed in the DADT debate.
