Then, many times, I would go out to my car to go back home
at the end of the night, and in the darkness, standing by my car, would
be one or two young people. They would look in both directions to make
sure no one could hear them, and they would whisper to me: Senator, I
am a Dreamer. These were undocumented children--teenagers, adolescents--who had
been taught early in life to be extremely careful: Never, ever admit
that you are undocumented; never, ever get involved with the law
because you could be deported tomorrow morning, and your family might
be deported with you. So they grew up in fear--fear of what might
happen with a knock on the door. So now comes this politician, this Senator, who says: I am going to
change the law.
