Gallego, Kelly Statement on Trump Administration Lawsuit Targeting Arizona Dreamers

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) released the following statement after the Trump administration sued Arizona over its policy allowing eligible Dreamers and other immigrant students who attended and graduated from Arizona high schools to qualify for in-state tuition. “Dreamers are Americans in every way. They grew up here, went to our schools, and are contributing to communities across Arizona. They deserve the opportunity to get an education and build a future in the only country many of them have ever called home. “Making college more expensive for young people who are deeply rooted in America does nothing to fix our broken immigration system or make our country safer. Arizona voters decided to allow these students to pursue an affordable education, and we should respect that decision. We’ll keep fighting for them to continue building their lives and futures in Arizona.”
