"For those that are undocumented, we're going to make some rules; of course they'll be understandable," Reid said. "We're going to make sure there will be a penalty or a fine. People will have to work, pay taxes and stay out of trouble and learn English. Not so bad, is it?"

The Senate Majority Leader also discussed re-examining employer sanctions for hiring illegal aliens. Reid said he wants to enact the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, also known as the DREAM Act.

The proposed legislation allows certain students, who came to the U.S. illegally as minors, to obtain temporary residency to finish high school and continue on to college or the military. Eventually, they can become naturalized through this process.

"We need to do this this year," Reid said. "We cannot let excuses, like a Supreme Court nomination, get in the way."

Activists are demanding a reform bill in front of Congress by April 30, a day before International Workers' Day, which celebrates immigrant workers around the world.
Pass the Dream Act. Pass it now.
