Face of the Dream Act




Daniela Paleaz, 18 years old, was brought to this country as a baby by her parents who overstayed their visit. She will be the North Miami Beach Senior High school's valedictorian with a grade point average of 6.7. More than 2,600 students, teachers, and even the district superientendant demonstrated in support of her remaining in the United States. Congress members from the district also took up her cause. Daniela's petition to remain in the U.S. was deferred for two years. Daniela was fortunate to gain the support of thousands of people to stall her immediate deportation. However what about the thousands of other children whose deportation status are not considered?
