May 17, 2012: DREAMers Launch “Right to DREAM” Campaign With National Day of Action

Quote:

            Tomorrow, <a href="http://unitedwedream.org/" target="_blank">United We Dream</a> (UWD) is hosting rallies, marches and protests as part of its <a href="http://www.unitedwedream.org/right-to-dream" target="_blank">“Right to DREAM” campaign’s National Day of Action</a>.  <b>Frustrated with the Obama Administration, undocumented youth around the  country are calling on President Obama to keep families together and  use his executive powers to protect DREAMers from deportation. </b>In a press advisory the group released ahead of a call that UWD is  hosting tomorrow, the group explains the reason for the energy behind  its day of action:In the first three years of the Obama Administration, the  immigrant community has experienced more deportations than under  President Bush or any other President, causing unspeakable pain for  Latino and immigrant families – communities the President is especially  interested in appealing to this year.<br />

Despite promises for reform and a moderate deportation policy, the deportations have continued unabated. The President must shift his record and DREAMers around the country will rally this week to call on him to grant them relief.
The support for the DREAM Act is both public and political. Last year, twenty-two Senators co-signed a letter to the President urging him to grant administrative relief for DREAMers. This week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) expressed hope that relief is coming soon from the White House. Polls also show it is supported by 70% of all Americans and 85% of Latinos.

Does Reid know something we don't know?
