US Student Association Hearts AFL-CIO DREAM Act Support

By Tula Connell

Cool. The United States Student Association (USSA) is tweeting about the AFL-CIO’s move last week to call on Congress to pass the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) as a down payment on comprehensive immigration reform.

USSA President Lindsay McCluskey says: 

USSA stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the labor movement as we urge Congress to open the college doors to thousands of the nation?s best and brightest undocumented students. Access to higher education is a fundamental right and is being violated by our current education and immigration laws.  Passage of the DREAM Act will lead to and strengthen comprehensive immigration reform that will move our country closer to a truly just society.
