Obama: Pass the DREAM Act

 

On Thursday, President Obama gave his first speech on Immigration reform. In his speech, he outlined the major issues with our current situation and stressed the need for change. President Obama was very clear on with the problems. He noted some of the causes for this situation and that band-aid solutions like those practiced by Arizona (and almost MA!) are not the correct recourses for the states. He called for congressional action and said he would maintain his commitment to reform. 
At one point, he called out the DREAMers, and reiterated his support for the DREAM act. This is very good for us, it spotlights our campaign and highlights the attainability of the DREAM act versus CIR in the immediate future. 
However, this is not a job for him to fix. He needs congress to act and pass some sort of reform. 
This a call for us to rally our congress. 
We as students cannot wait any longer. We need more action and less words. We need to pass the DREAM act now!
