NEW YORK—Getting the New York Dream Act passed has been a long journey for undocumented immigrants and rights activists.

To express deep disappointment with Gov. Cuomo’s lack of support and failure to include funding for the act in this year’s state budget, a group of 15 undocumented youth and supporters set off on a 150-mile walk from Gregorio Luperon High School on 165th Street to Albany.
