Trail of Dreams: Students March from Miami to DC
The four students, who are on a four month, 1500 mile walk from Miami to Washington DC to protest the lack of legislation granting legal status to illegal immigrants. They are making a stop here on campus at USC. Come to hear their story and to learn more. The protesters include Carlos Roa, 22, who was 2 years old when his parents brought him here from Venezuela, and Felipe Matos, 23, sent from Brazil by his mother when he was 14. They say they support proposals in overhaul bills that would open a path to citizenship for students who came to this country illegally when they were young.
