BREAKING
NEWS:
President Obama just announced a long-overdue policy that gives legal status to
young immigrants, including students and members of the military.
As the President put it, "It makes no sense to expel talented young
persons who are, for all intents and purposes, Americans."
Republicans in
Congress are already mobilizing against the President's policy -- one has even
announced a plan to sue the Obama administration.
We need to get the President's back on this.
Sign our petition standing with President Obama: Tell Congress to pass
the DREAM Act >>
This momentous decision is a critical first step to addressing millions of
young immigrants who have grown up in the United States -- but it's only
temporary. The next President could revoke this order on their first day in
office.
Republicans in Congress must pass the DREAM Act to allow these students and
members of our military a real pathway to citizenship. President Obama made it
clear in his statement today:
"I've
said time and time again to Congress: send me the DREAM Act, put it on my desk,
and I'll pass it right away."
This
is a defining issue for our country: if Mitt Romney and the Republicans refuse
to allow immigrants who were brought to America as children to have basic
rights, then we need to call them out.
