On Monday Oct. 12, 50 Ann Arbor area immigration reform advocates embarked on an eight-hour road trip to rally in support of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act in Washington, DC. Upon arrival the following morning, the four caravans of University of Michigan students and community members joined 10,000 other ‘dreamers’ to rally on the Mall.
The DREAM Act, most recently introduced to congress in June 2009, ensures that undocumented citizens who meet specified criteria can apply for permanent residency in the United States.
