To: The Iowa State House and The Iowa State Senate

Pass the Iowa DREAM Act

Please support Senate File 80, the state version of the Dream Act. It would allow Iowa high school graduates who have been residents of Iowa for five years to be eligible for in-state tuition rates at community colleges and state universities.

Why is this important?

Immigrant youth should not be hindered from working towards a more promising future solely because they were brought to the United States by their parents at a young age without legal status.

We believe the Iowa DREAM Act (SF80) would be a good building block for needed immigration reform and help add talented, motivated, and multi-lingual people to our workforce. They are important to our ability to counteract the serious demographic and workforce challenges we face in Iowa.

The Dream Act represents a practical, fair, and compassionate solution for young persons who simply want to reach their potential and contribute to the well-being of our state.

Please join us in telling Iowa lawmakers to pass the Iowa DREAM. act.
