Eric Cantor Endorses the Principles of the DREAM Act
 
Is this an endorsement of the Dream act by the House gop?

Policy details will need worked out, but this is as close to an endorsement as we've seen from the House Majority Leader

A good place to start is with the kids. One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents. It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this country as children and who know no other home.

We're talking about the legislative Dream act not the administrative implementation of DACA.This is definitely one concern I think needs mentioning so that the bill is all encompassing.

The Judiciary committees will have the final say on a bill so I think we can probably do something about it during that time period or when it comes to the floor of either chamber.The point is to get age-out stories out their NOW to influence policy!

Most GOP people seem to support GC and USC for dream kids only. They may support a legal status for other undocumented workers which may or may not lead to a GC. They prefer to do it piece by piece.

The Democrats are not satisfied with the Dream Act this time. They want a CIR plus LBGT in it. They want to do it all at once.

I agree. DA is much easier than CIR. It should be passed separately.

I have been preaching that since it mattered to me in 2005. Now I don't care.

First test the waters with a less controversial bill and then go with the rest. If you can't get everything something is better than nothing in my opinion.

I think CIR/DA is easier at this point.

They should add Retroactive provisions with no age cap.
