Nancy Pelosi: Immigrants and Sacramento Dreamers

nancy pelosi: We're in this fight to win for the dreamers, when it's easier and when it's harder, she told reporters later after a similar but quieter event in Sacramento, according to Metro News. Dreamers is a nickname used for young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children or by parents who overstayed visas. Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the U.S. House, said she understands the fears of young immigrants after they shouted her down Monday at an event where she planned to drum up support for legislation that would grant legal status to immigrants like them. I understand the fear that they have, Pelosi said. The protesters called for reform that gives legal status to all immigrants in the country, not just young people. Dozens of protesters marched into her event in San Francisco, her hometown, showing their displeasure over her recent meetings with President Donald Trump over the program that protects young immigrants from deportation.
