September 10, 2010
The Honorable Senator Scott Brown
2400 JFK Federal Building
Boston, MA 02203
The Student Immigrant Movement (SIM) is a youth-led statewide non-profit organization that seeks
equal access to higher education that represents hundreds of members and thousands of supporters.
SIM supports the DREAM Act and its goals of increasing access to higher education and diversity. DREAM
Act eligible students continuously demonstrate themselves to have an extraordinary level of civic
engagement within their communities both throughout MA and across the nation. Examples of over
achieving students who excel academically and volunteer for their communities, as well as those who
wish to serve the United States military, are countless and precisely the individuals that this legislation
focuses on as beneficiaries.
The DREAM Act solely benefits those who meet the requirement of having resided in the United
States continuously for the past five consecutive years, and would only open a eleven year pathway to
citizenship. As such this legislation would not provide incentive nor would it benefit those who have
resided in the United States any less than the required time frame. Let us lessen the struggles for access
to higher education by not holding children and more specifically minors accountable, especially for
those who had no option in the life and situation our current laws have placed them in, nor limit any
child’s access to an education.
Therefore, the Student Immigrant Movement and its membership ask you to support and co-sponsor
S.729, the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
Very truly yours
