Jovenes Inmigrantes por un
Futuro Mejor works to
increase community awareness about House Bill 1403 – Texas law to
allow undocumented students access to college at in-state tuition
rates. JIFM advocates for the passage of the Development, Relief, and
Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act), a legislation that
protects and strengthens the rights of immigrant students in the U.S.
JIFM organizes immigrant students in high schools and colleges to work toward equal
access to an education. In order to encourage the participation of
fellow students in institutions of higher education, JIFM conducts
community outreach, provides civic empowerment and political
involvement opportunities for young undocumented students. JIFM
believes that providing legal status to undocumented students who are
willing to improve themselves will definitely benefit the economy and
the multicultural enrichment of this nation. |
