A lot of Senate Republicans are voting against the DA because it is too broad, if Reid allows them to add admendments there is a bigger chance of it passing. Remember, we only have 53 sure votes from Reid's Democrats.
1. Let them lower the age from 35 to 25-26. I know I'm selfish because I'm only 17, but if DA does not pass now it may never come up again for years with Republicans controlling the House and Obama having a 90% of not being re-elected in 2012.
2. Change conditional green card to student visas with work permit, or any combination. "Legal" status is MUCH better than being undocumented. There are a lot of avenues one can use to get permanent resident status if one is on a legal status.
Partial Dream Act > no Dream Act at all.
