Dozens of people marched in Vancouver on Saturday afternoon to press Congress to pass the Dream Act, legislation to allow children brought illegally into the United States by their parents to remain in the country and achieve citizenship.
According to KATU, The Columbian’s news partner, marchers wanted to send a message to U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground. They marched from her office to Esther Short Park.
The march, co-sponsored by the CAPACES Leadership Institute and LULAC of Southwest Washington, came two days before protection for Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, or DACA, is set to expire.
