Our Maryland DREAM

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 07:46:12 -0400

Our Maryland DREAM

Maryland’s great strength is that of our people, our diversity, and the investments that we continue to make in our children. That’s why we have ranked “First in the Nation” in K-12 education for the last three years. But for children who are undocumented immigrants, a glass ceiling exists that has impairs their success, and the success of our economy. That’s why I was so proud to co-sponsor and work for the passage of this year’s DREAM Act – a new law that will allow children who are undocumented, but who graduated from Maryland high schools, to receive in-state tuition in the Maryland community colleges.
