The DREAMers and the movement they have built together with their allies have fueled the immigrant rights movement. Undocumented youth are tired of the vast inequities and limited opportunities afforded to them because of their citizenship status.
What the DREAMers are fighting for -- the right to education for all, the right to have a job that helps our families get out of poverty, the right to live without fear of incarceration and deportation, the right to keep families together -- is the right thing.
All of us in the immigrant rights movement and our allies should applaud and support their cause. ... We must continue to fight for a new and just immigration policy based on human and workers' rights.
More than ever, it is necessary to (re)build an independent mass movement for legalization. It will take huge mobilizations and strikes like those that took place in the spring of 2006 to force the ruling elite to grant our just demands.
We must champion the DREAMers movement -- that is, a real DREAM Act without any militaristic strings attached.
