Lawmakers vote to create special tuition rate to benefit ‘Dreamers’
In this July 22, 2013 file photo, “Dreamers” wearing their school graduation caps and gowns to show their desire to finish school in the U.S., march with linked arms to the U.S. port of entry where they planned to request humanitarian parole in Nogales, Mexico. Nine activists in federal custody in Arizona for more than a week after attempting to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S. in protest of American immigration policy have been denied requests to remain in the country on humanitarian grounds, organizers said Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013. The group, referring to themselves as the Dream9, is trying to call attention to hundreds of thousands who have been deported during President Barack Obama’s time in the White House.
