Turn the DREAM act into reality

Eliseo Medina, SEIU Secretary-Treasuer

As early as today, September 20th, the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act may come up for a vote in the US Senate.

The DREAM Act provides a path to citizenship for children who were brought to this country by no choice of their own and SEIU supports it's passage.

We need you to speak up to make sure that the Senate gets the message. They must pass the DREAM Act or these children will continue to live in fear of deportation to a country where they may not have any family or have any connection to.

SEIU has successfully fought on behalf of DREAM Act candidates like Walter Lara, Herta Llushlo, and Alonso Chehade who were once facing deportation, but the reality is that while their deportations were stayed, another Dreamer may have been deported in their place.

It's essential we urge all Senators to vote yes on the DREAM Act amendment. The DREAM Act is a bipartisan bill currently co-sponsored by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) and has historically received bipartisan support. Ten Republicans voted for it in 2007; including 5 current Republican Senators: Bennett (UT), Brownback (KS), Hatch (UT), Snowe (ME) and Collins (ME).
