AAU President Mary Sue Coleman sent congressional leaders a letter urging them to pass H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019. The American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 would authorize undocumented young Dreamers, individuals who consider America their home, to acquire a lawful and permanent residence in the United States and a path to citizenship. President Coleman states, "Providing a permanent legal solution for these individuals is both a moral imperative and a national necessity if our nation is to live up to the ideals we espouse."
