After high school. Alejandro enrolled at the University of New Mexico. Undocumented. he could not get financial aid. He and his mother worked hard to pay tuition. Alejandro also volunteered to help other young people get an education and to follow their dreams. He is at work now on his Ph.D. in education. We may disagree on the specifics of immigration reform. but these DREAMers have earned our admiration. They should not be pushed back into the shadows by the House deportation bill. The men and women who work to keep us safe. who screen more than 1 million people a day through our ports of entry. who patrol our borders and help secure our communities should not be a bargaining chip. In New Mexico we believe homeland security should be a priority. not a talking point.
