Hundreds of high school and college students in Washington walked out of class and marched to Capitol Hill on Thursday, November 9, to protest the US Senate’s failure to pass a “clean” DREAM Act for undocumented minors.
The group wants the senate to pass legislation by the time it goes into recess in December, a news report said. The group unfurled banners in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building and chanted “Si, se puede,” which means “Yes, it’s possible.”
