The DREAM ActI described it earliergives young people brought to the United States at an early age. who had no voice in what their families were going to do. to come to this country and eventually find their way to legal status. At one point even the House Republicans said they supported this socalled DREAM Act. Time and again we have faced filibusters stopping the DREAM Act from passing in the Senate. but it was part of comprehensive immigration reform. This DREAM Act all started with this young lady. Tereza Lee. Korean. brought to the United States at the age of 2. grew up in a poor family in Chicago. had an amazing musical talent and was accepted to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music and the Julliard School of Music. Because she was undocumented she had no place to go. Her mother called our office. Her mother. who incidentally worked night and day in a dry cleaning establishment in Chicago said: What can we do?
