DESCRIPTION:FEATURED PANELISTS:\nLisa Garcia Bedolla\nAssociate Professor, Graduate

 Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy, UC Berkeley School of 
 Law\n\nIn 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 or 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\nsocioeconomic landscape of 
 immigration reform.\n
