The fight to #ProtectDREAMers will have impacts in communities all across America. Right in my district, a young man named Fernando is just one of many whose future hangs in the balance.

Fernando was brought to the US when he was 9 yrs old. He was an AP scholar, received the IB Diploma, an Achievement Award in Foreign Language for French, and graduated cum laude from @SantaClaraUniv with a double major in Biology and French. He is undocumented.

Fernando is exactly the kind of young person America should be embracing. And he’s not alone. Across the nation,
#DREAMers are contributing to & strengthening our communities. America cannot afford to have Republicans continue to push them away.Show this thread

Then he should be THANKFUL for the amount of years he got to live stateside. People like me who do things the right way, continue to wait in line and will likely never get stateside. Yet NO politician promotes our cause... but you promote felons & criminals!

if he's capable of all that, he should be more than capable of going through the immigration process and becoming a citizen of the United States.

As a Latina who came here legally it is a shame that you have put illegals first over the rights of our citizens and legal immigrants.

It’s sad that someone who was in the country illegally sat in the classroom chair instead of a legal citizen who wanted the education the illegal got instead of them. That makes me sick
