Education is essential for the growth and development of the
mind. Undocumented students are people like you and me; they
have rights. I give support because I believe that their dreams
should come true, too.

Undocumented students give to our community by serving as high achieving role models.
We should match them by broadening their access to a college education.

Many of these hard working students were brought here as pre-school age children, and all they
know is our American educational curriculum. Throughout their educational trajectory they have
been instilled with the possibilities of the "American Dream" by way of encouragement from their
previous teachers and other school personnel. All of these years they were told that college is the
only way for a better life. These youth need the necessary resources and support from the state and
institutional sectors.

As the leading advocate of Hispanic higher education, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and
Universities (HACU) fully supports SB 160
(Cedillo), the California Dream Act. This legislation would allow AB 540 students to compete
for financial aid providing them the resources to
achieve their higher education dreams.
Antonio Flores

Although I am not an AB 540 student, I believe SB 160 is an important bill because it will
help build a bridge between undocumented students and higher education. This bridge is
critical to the future and building a better California.

If SB 160 were to pass, many of the struggles I am going through now would not exist. I
would be able to reach my educational goals, decrease my work hours, and therefore
increase my community involvement.

I support SB 160 because I believe that in order for this country to prosper we
need a more educated society. SB 160 will allow AB 540 students to apply for
financial aid and reach their educational goals and contribute to society.

Undocumented students need to be wise,
stay motivated, be resilient, and persevere.
Be future-oriented and believe that everything will be okay. It's just a matter of time.

SECTION 5: WHAT CAN I DO AFTER I
GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE?
AB 540 made pursuing a masters degree in

our community we are just one immigration
policy away.
