Now that's an interesting date. There are some politicians telling us there will be no reform in 2010. In the year 2011, there are no congressional elections. It also the year before the presidential election. Very interesting. I look forward to seeing what happens during 2011 if we don't see any debates this year. Of course, we then have 2012 where President Obama will try and gain all of our support once again. Interesting indeed.

To answer the original poster's question, it's hard to say. I would like to think the Dream act has a chance of passing either this year, or next, but there are many factors that play a role in determining the outcome of a bill. What led me to this conclusion? Simply the support the Dream act has gathered since the day it was introduced, mainly the support of the President.
