    DREAMIES BOOK PUBLISHED

    High School Students Document
    Immigration Plight in New Book

    Phoenix, Arizona
    February 6, 2008

    A compelling account of the struggle that students without legal status in the U.S. are facing has taken the form of a bilingual book. Under the title of Documented Dreams, the Arizona-based Hispanic Institute of Social Issues (HISI) has published a collection of letters written by students from Gateway Early College High School, and compiled by the school’s principal —and 2008 ‘Living the Dream’ award recipient— Yvonne Watterson

    The letters were written in response to the anonymous and generous donations by people from the community, who made financial contributions to help students unable to qualify for in-state tuition continue taking college classes. The group of High School students then decided to write thank you letters to show their appreciation.

    Watterson revealed that after reading the letters from students, “a book seemed the obvious way to capture forever their collective thanks. The students wanted to thank the strangers who were making their continued college education a reality. They could only convey their gratitude anonymously, from the shadows.â€

    Protagonists?!
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    How about a compelling account on the devastating impact of illegal immigration on our trauma centers, hospitals, prisons, public schools, etc.
