"Many DREAMers defend our country as part of our military and are business owners creating jobs or are in school diligently studying and looking for a way to go to college just like the rest of us. They are our friends, neighbors, classmates and veterans and don't need the fear of deportation for something as inane as getting pulled over for a minor traffic violation. English is the first language for many DREAMers and they may not even speak Spanish fluently...they only know growing up in our country with our values. Let us find a solution and craft legislation giving law-abiding DREAMers who contribute to our society and economy a smoother path to citizenship."

"I support a $15/hour minimum wage and would even push for legislation to include a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) by each state. In Los Angeles, $15 will help but is still not enough to live without financial worries."
