The Buzz: Undocumented immigrants honored in California Assembly
Shining the spotlight on their status may help more people realize how much we need immigration reform. They went through high school, some graduated from college and they can't get hired, they won't be paying taxes from jobs they are able to do.    - - Donna Poisl

Five undocumented immigrants received a standing ovation on the Assembly floor on Monday for their campaign to prod changes in federal immigration law.

The immigrants are walking from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., to lobby for the federal Dream Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for longtime residents who immigrated illegally and later graduated from U.S. high schools.

No lawmakers protested Monday's recognition – almost all Democrats stood to applaud, but many Republicans stayed in their seats.
