The “Dream Riders” are a group of undocumented students who raised funds to travel cross-country to tell their stories and advocate for immigration reform.
Certain young illegal immigrants can apply to legally live and work temporarily in the United States starting on Aug. 15. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) called the launch of the new policy “a really important day in our nation’s history,” speaking in an Aug. 14 telephone press conference.
