Sponsors: Stanford Advocates for Immigrants’ Rights (SAIR) and Hastings Students for Immigrants’ Rights (HSIR)
This panel brings together the perspectives of academics, lawyers, and activists to discuss DACA, the DREAM Act and its progeny. We will highlight the narratives that undocumented/DACAmented activists have used and are using to advocate for themselves and the larger undocumented population. Panelists will comment on the tensions inherent in a focus on the DREAMer narrative in advocating for immigration reform, as well as the potential impacts of current legislative proposals.
