Is Governor Cuomo Going to Support the Dream Act?

The article "Undocumented immigrants push Gov.Andrew Cuomo to Support the Dream Act" By   Erica Pearson is about how immigrants are strongly trying to convince Governor Cuomo to pass the Dream Act.Many are trying to convince him by using social networking sites.For example,they have used twitter and Facebook to ask him many times if he is going to support the Dream Act.A coalition of immigrant groups sent the governor a letter about the issue.Governor Cuomo has yet to respond to these acts.
                                   "We are looking for TAP. It would give a lift, to get financial aid. ... We are expecting better things to happen this year"said Alarcon, 18, a student at LaGuardia Community College whose parents brought him to the U.S. illegally from Mexico at age 11.They just want a change there are a lot of hispanic people in the U.S most of them still don't have there green cards.Also the same person said “The governor should be focusing more on the Latino community,” I couldn't agree more.Even though the governor should still focus on other problems paying attention to the latino community would help a lot.
