Religious Leaders and the DREAM Act
On December 14, a group of religious leaders held a prayer summit and “Jericho March” on Capitol Hill to urge senators to vote in favor of a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought into the country by their parents and who go on to post-secondary education or military service.
