It would be an extreme hardship to uproot Juan and Alejandro from their community. which has wholeheartedly embraced them. to send them back to Colombia where there lives could be in serious danger. We all know that the circumstances of Juan and Alejandro arent unique. Just like many other children here illegally. they had no control over their parents decision to overstay their visas a number of years ago. Most of these young people work hard to complete school and contribute to their communities. Cases like Juans and Alejandros are the reason why the so called DREAM Act was attached to the comprehensive immigration reform legislation that the Senate attempted to pass earlier this year. only to face a filibuster from opponents of any comprehensive immigration reform proposal.
