They sang our national anthem. They dreamed of their future. only to learn when they were still children that that opportunity was not there for them. You see. they were undocumented. Their parents brought them to America. never filed any papers. and they were undocumented. It did not seem right to me at the time that a young persona toddler. an infantbrought to this country would be paying this heavy price with their lives because of any wrongdoing by their parents. So I introduced a bill. the DREAM Act. at the time cosponsored by Senator HATCH of Utah. We said in that bill: If you were brought to America as a child and your parents brought you here and did not file the papers or left you in an undocumented state. but you lived in America. did nothing wrong in America. graduated from high school in America. we would give you a chance. We would give you a chance to step forward if you were willing to either serve in our military or go to college and put you on a path to legalization. That was the DREAM Act.
