Brandon Pinto, 19, of Waterbury, testifies at a hearing before the Higher Education committee at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Tuesday afternoon. Pinto and other undocumented college students testified in favor of a proposed senate bill that would enable them to access financial aid from Connecticut state colleges and universities. They tried to get this passed last year, but didn’t succeed. Pinto, a student at Naugatuck Community College, says he came to the U.S. undocumented when he was three or four years old.
