EUGENE, Ore. -- Close to 800 people showed up to a meeting in Eugene on immigration reform Thursday night. The immigrant rights coalition, "Causa Oregon" is calling on local leaders to help them make changes to Oregon's laws.



They want to restore immigrant access to Oregon state driver's licenses. Also, create a policy to allow all students who have graduated from high school, or received their GED in Oregon, in-state tuition regardless of their status.



"I'm really sorry that I am here illegally. But I can't help it. My mom wanted her daughter to have a better future," said Jessica Garcia.



Supporters hope to have both bills in the legislature and have all the signatures they need by as early as next week.
