Template Letter to Congress on the Dream Act of 2021 for Higher Ed Institutions

The Presidents’ Alliance developed this template letter to Congress, particularly the Senate, for institutions of higher education to adapt and send to Senate delegations in support of the Dream Act of 2021, which would codify Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) into law and provide a path to citizenship for certain undocumented immigrants with and without DACA who arrived in the United States at a young age. The Dream Act of 2021—identical to the Dream Act of 2019—has been reintroduced to the Senate by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL).

The goal of this document is to provide a template for institutions to share their support for such legislation with your state delegations in the U.S. Senate, individually or as a coalition of institutions from your state.
