BERNARD: It’s un-American to hold 700,000 “Dreamers” in limbo

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist  |  As of 2017, there were nearly 700,000 “Dreamers.” These “Dreamers” are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. They are named after the Dream Act, which was first introduced into Congress 20 years ago (and reintroduced numerous times since), but never passed because of opposition from Republicans.
