En Nueva York, un grupo de estudiantes llevó a cabo una protesta en la que simulaban estar muertos frente a la oficina del senador Chuck Schumer el jueves.

Illegal immigrants less than 1 percent of California college enrollment
Eight years after California's Legislature adopted a tuition break to help undocumented immigrants afford college, these students account for 1 percent or less of all students in the state's three higher education systems.
Federal DREAM Act
The purpose of the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, also called the DREAM Act, is to help those individuals who meet certain requirements, have an opportunity to enlist in the military or go to college and have a path to citizenship which they otherwise would not have without this legislation. Supporters of the DREAM Act believe it is vital not only to the people who would benefit from it, but also the United States as a whole. It would give an opportunity to undocumented immigrant students who have been living in the U.S. since they were young, a chance to contribute back to the country that has given so much to them and a chance to utilize their hard earned education and talents.
Avanza propuesta para apoyar educación superior de indocumentados
El Comité de Educación del Senado de California aprobó una propuesta que busca ayudar a los estudiantes indocumentados a financiar carreras universitarias a condición de que hayan cursado la educación media completa en el estado. El autor de la propuesta, el senador Gil Cedillo, presidente de la bancada latina, dijo a Notimex que la gran mayoría de esos estudiantes llegaron a California cuando eran muy pequeños y el estado es prácticamente el país que conocen como su hogar.
