As the March 5 deadline approaches for “Dreamers” — illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children through no fault of their own — citizens of all political persuasions must raise their voices to demand that Congress not give up on ethical immigration reform.

Despite the fact that a large majority of American voters supports granting permanent legal status to the Dreamers, it appears that negotiations on a final bill have stalled and may remain so even until after the midterm elections. That is unacceptable.
