Dream Act supporters tie opponents to white nationalists

Proponents of legislation to legalize people who came to the United States illegally as children are tying opponents of the bill to the white nationalists who protested in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.

“We are quite confident” a majority would vote for the Dream Act legislation, Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice Education Fund, told reporters Monday. “The real question is, does the Republican leadership want to side with the party on display in Charlottesville this weekend, or with 80 percent of Americans who want people to become Americans who already are in spirit?”
