Student Activists and cool lawyers

I met Mark Silverman a few times along the ways of rallies, press conferences and the like. He was at the Sacramento rally last month, urging Governor Schwarzenegger to sign the California Dream Act.

Time and time again, he summarizes his support with a sound moral argument, but also with a strong appeal of healthy self-interest. In this article, he does so again:

I want the DREAM act to be passed because I want these bright immigrant students to help pay my Social Security.

The article itself is a review of the work that Cesar Juarez, Saul Verduzco, and other Dream students up in San Jose are doing to improve their communities.

Hat tip to all. Pass the DREAM Act.
