I saw
this originally over at Immigration Prof. that the President of Stanford University has written a
letter in support of the Dream act.
Quote:
The Honorable Dianne Feinstein
US Senate
331 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20514
Dear Senator Feinstein:
I am writing to thank you for cosponsoring 5. 729, the Development, Relief,
Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, and to express my support for the bill.
and
As you know, approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate from our nation’s
high schools each year. Unfortunately, many of these young people, who have lived in
this country for most of their lives and who have records of academic achievement and
community involvement, are unable to attend college because of their immigration status.
The DREAM Act would allow these students to gain conditional permanent legal resident
status as they pursue their undergraduate education.
Over the years, I have supported broad-based immigration reform that balances our
national security concerns with policies that embody opportunity and fairness and
strengthen our country’s science and technology base. It is in that context that I voice my
strong support for the DREAM Act.
If I can be of help as you work to move this important legislation forward,
hesitate to contact me.
