Gaby, Carlos and Felipe need your help. These four brave students have been walking from Miami to Washington, D.C. to call for solutions to our failed immigration system, and for an end to deportations of students like them who would qualify under the DREAM Act. Now, two U.S. Senators have come out with a letter urging the Obama administration to halt all deportations of undocumented ‘DREAM’ students. It’s a critical moment. As the walkers approach their final destination in Washington, DC, we need to show President Obama that there is a wave of support behind this effort to stop student deportations – a first step toward real change in out immigration system. Will you add your voice and stand with them?” See trail2010.org/action for the full story.
