YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

TYT's Eric Byler ( ) interviewed DACA activist Basilia Alonso as Dream Act advocates gathered outside of a D.C. courthouse. Protestors were arrested on Dec. 15, and released 5 days later, after occupying Sen. Chuck Schumer's office in order to push lawmakers to demand "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" be included in the budget bill.

If Congress waits until next year and move on a clean DREAM Act bill, as Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and others say they wish to do, conservatives will demand concessions that hurt the immigrant community, Alonso explained.
