Advocates to make last ’DREAM Act’ pitch to Brown
By Associated Press | Sunday, December 12, 2010 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Politics

Immigrant advocates say they’re making a last-ditch effort to push U.S. Sen. Scott Brown to support the "DREAM Act."

A coalition of advocates, educators and religious leaders have scheduled a press conference Monday at Boston City Hall to pressure the Massachusetts Republican to vote for the federal proposal.

It would allow some illegal immigrants to qualify for permanent legal residency by graduating from college or a trade school or by joining the military. The Senate is slated to vote on the measure this week.

Brown has said that he opposes the bill and sees it as "amnesty."

Brown has also been a target of a national campaign by advocates trying to persuade the moderate Republican to support the proposal.
