Press Conference Organized by NICL , IDEAS Alumni Speaks: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/23/politics/politico/thecrypt/main3398353.shtml

"In an effort to humanize the issue of what happens to children of immigrants who came to the country illegally, Democrats plan to introduce Tam Tran, a 24-year old Vietnamese graduate student, Marie Gonzalez, a 21-year old Costa Rican college student, and Manuel Bartsch, a college sophomore from Germany. All three young adults, who will be introduced at an afternoon press briefing, have been in the United States for years, but their parents entered the country illegally" - CBS NEWS
