Children who are brought into the United States without immigration authorization are deportable, often unable to attend higher education, and unable to legally work. Talented promising youth are kept from following their dreams beyond high school and could potentially end up living in hiding and in fear.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) supports DREAM Act legislation that would give undocumented young people the ability to continue refining their talents in a real and meaningful way by allowing them to live in the U.S. permanently and work and go to school.
