Marie Gonzalez
On July 1, the Department of Homeland
Security granted Marie "deferred action" for
one year, while still forcing Marie's parents to leave
on July 5.
This latest example of how our broken
immigration system tears families apart adds to the
urgency for comprehensive immigration reform and the
DREAM Act. Congress only has one year left to help Marie
accomplish her dreams and reunite with her parents.

On
July 5, 2005, Marie Nazareth Gonzalez - an honor student
from Missouri who has lived in this country since she
was five years old - and her parents will be forced
to leave this country.
Marie, an only child, should be completing
her first year of college, but our broken immigration
system has denied her the opportunity to pursue her
dreams of higher education, and instead, Marie and her
family are facing a deportation order. Marie has become
a leader in the movement to pass the DREAM Act - a bipartisan
bill that would provide a path to higher education and
citizenship for immigrant students who have grown up
in this country. Her situation has made her a national
figure; she has been featured on television news and
talk shows, and in Latina magazine as one of the "Mujeres
of the Year" (Women of the year).
