Rubén Rumbaut, UCI sociology professor (pictured), and Roberto G. Gonzales, UCI sociology
Ph.D. alumnus and University of Washington professor, were among a group of immigration
scholars who participated in a national teleconference December 13 to discuss their
support of the DREAM Act. Currently under review by the U.S. Senate, the bill - slated
for a vote by the Senate this week - would give certain undocumented immigrant youth
an opportunity at legal status. Earlier this month, immigration scholars - several
from UCI - took part in drafting and signing a letter in support of the DREAM Act.
Listen in to a recording of the teleconference online.
