Seven years ago your predecessor in the Massachusetts Senate delegation co-sponsored the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act. I hope that you will do the same. This bill would aid both immigrants and industry, by permitting people who have resided in the United States since childhood to remain in the United States and contribute their skills and energy to United States businesses. It is a tragedy that hard-working people who have no memory of any country other than the United States currently face deportation as illegal aliens.
