Thanks in large part to your support, momentum is building across the aisle to pass the DREAM Act in the Senate. Sen. Cory Gardner from Colorado is the latest Republican Senator to throw his support behind the bill after President Trump moved last week to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Sen. Gardner, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, joined three other Republicans in co-sponsoring the DREAM Act, which would provide critical deportation protections to young immigrants and lay out a path to citizenship. Sen. Gardner explained his support in a statement: “Children who came to this country without documentation, through no fault of their own, must have the opportunity to remain here lawfully.” The Senate bill already has 10 backers: six Democratic co-sponsors and four Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Cory Gardner of Colorado. Your voice matters on this issue and this next week will be important to pressuring more Senators to support this permanent legislative fix to protect our young immigrants. Share this update and invite your friends to join the campaign to pass the DREAM Act in the Senate!
