AAU, along with 36 other higher education associations, joined ACE's letter to Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McCarthy, Chairman Nadler, and Ranking Member Collins urging the passage of H.R. 6, the Dream and Promise Act of 2019.
The associations stated, "The Dream and Promise Act of 2019 would allow some undocumented young people, who have already invested in our country and in whom the country has already invested, to earn lawful permanent residence in the United States and a path to citizenship. Brought to our country as children, many of these “Dreamers” do not even remember the country they came from and consider America to be their only home. Through no fault of their own, they are unable to pursue their dreams and contribute more fully to our nation."
