AAU joined ACE and 50 other higher education organizations on a letter to Senate leaders to urge them quickly to pass S. 264, the “Dream Act of 2021,” legislation that 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 U.S., and ultimately a path to full citizenship.” The letter notes that “we cannot afford to shut the door to an entire generation of individuals who seek to contribute their best to America.”
