Students from Miami walking to Washington D.C. on behalf of immigrant rights stopped in Albany Monday.

The group has logged over 500 miles as a part of their project called the “Trail of Dreams.” The intent is to share life stories of undocumented immigrants and bring awareness to immigrant reform. The “Dreamers” say they stand by four principals including access to education, a pathway to citizenship, an end to separation of families and respect for workers rights.
