Re: Three Former Falcon Robotics members on US Senate Floor!

Fredi,

Thank you to you and the amazing team you work with for putting a human face on this issue. I don't know all the details of the DREAM act and whether it is good or bad, but the stories of Angelica, Dulce, and Oscar have opened my eyes to the real life effect of immigration laws on real human beings.

Fredi,
Another inspiring story. So much so that before I posted here, I wrote a letter to Senator Durbin. Others can also contact him here...

As always, my best wishes to you and your students. May they find the access they seek and continue to provide inspiration to others, myself included.

Through misinformation, hatred, and bigotry. It's sad that some people in Washington happen to think that way.
