So, Obama is about change. I am thinking that if he does become president he will FIX this immigration problem, specially for dreamies. This question is for all those savvy political guys in this forum. If Obama becomes president. Realistically, how long will it take for the Dream Act to go into Vote as an individual bill or part of another comprehensive bill? Will it be in sometime in 2009, 2010? The reason behind this question is that I need advice on as to stick around or try other countries... that will give me residency

Obama Statement on Dream Act
Wednesday, October 24, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Amy Brundage, 202 228 5511

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today released the following statement on the Senate’s failure to move forward to consider the DREAM Act (S.2205), which would provide undocumented children the opportunity to pursue higher education or serve in our military, and eventually become legalized citizens:

“We need comprehensive immigration reform in this country – reform that promotes our national and economic security and creates a pathway to earned citizenship for the 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country. We should not punish undocumented children who were brought to this country illegally through no choice of their own by keeping them in the shadows. The DREAM Act would have given these young people the opportunity to earn a degree or serve in our military, and eventually become legalized citizens. Failing to pass the DREAM Act only compounds the immigration crisis by continuing to drive thousands of young people every year into hiding.

“Today is another missed opportunity in the battle to solve the immigration crisis in this country. The immigration debate has been wrought with the politics of division and fear, and been exploited by some politicians, blocking the real reform we need. Today's vote proves that we need to do more to transcend these divisions – especially to provide solutions to help the most vulnerable in our society. I will continue to work with Senators Durbin, Hagel, Lugar and Kennedy on this issue, and will fight to bring this legislation back for another vote as soon as possible.”

Answer to these type of question is always - No one knows.

We're all in the same predicament when it comes to making the decision to whether to stay, or otherwise.

Our hope is that something will be done as soon as possible, especially in 2009.
