<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>Students in this program are part of the fabric of communities – they are our friends, neighbors and community leaders. Many have no memory of the country their parents came from.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>They live this American life with us. And, like all our students, they come to our colleges to build better lives for themselves and their families.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>Our country made a promise to these students in the form of DACA and we should keep our promise. Students should not live in fear of deportation.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>We have an unflinching commitment to open education and diversity because we know – without a doubt – that our quality of life here in Washington improves when everyone has educational opportunity.</p>
