DESCRIPTION:In 2001, the DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) 
 was first introduced in the U.S. Senate.  This legislation sought to grant 
 citizenship to current college students and military enlistees brought to 
 the U.S. as dependent children.  Numerous versions of the federal DREAM Act 
 have been introduced but failed to win passage.  On the state level, 
 similar legislation has passed in states like California (AB 130) in 2011, 
 while Georgia and Alabama moved to restrict access to institutions of 
 higher education for undocumented students.  Recent announcements by 
 President Obama’s administration that “low priority” undocumented 
 immigrants may not be targeted for deportation signals yet another chapter 
 in this struggle.\n\nIn observance of Constitution Day, panelists will 
 discuss the DREAM Act in the broader historical context and meaning of 
 citizenship and the immigrant experience in the United States. They will 
 also examine debates and activism surrounding the DREAM Act as illustrating 
 the conflicting legal, political, and socioeconomic landscape of 
 immigration reform.\n\nFeatured Panelists:\n\nLisa Garcia Bedolla – 
 Associate Professor, Graduate School of Education; Chair, Center for Latino 
 Policy Research, UC Berkeley\n\nKevin Escudero – Doctoral Student, 
 Department of Ethnic Studies, UC Berkeley\n\nAarti Kohli – Director of 
 Immigration Policy, Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social 
 Policy, UC Berkeley School of Law\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the 
 public.  All are welcome to participate.\n\nAdmission is free.  Snacks and 
 beverages will be provided.\n\n
