By making a serious, national commitment to education reform—which means college or technical training accessible to every young person willing to strive for it—we can insure their success, and America’s success, in a world where the best educated workers and workforce will win.
It would be cool if DREAM Act can be included with education reform. I wonder which one would come first though, education or immigration reform.

In addition, recent improvements at managing the legal immigration system also prove that the federal government is ready to handle major reform.
Quote:
On top of this, in order to have fully effective law enforcement, we need Congress to create the legal foundation for bringing the millions of illegal immigrants in this country out of the shadows, require them to register and pay all taxes they owe, and enforce the penalties that they will have to pay as part of earning legal status. Let me emphasize this: we will never have fully effective law enforcement or national security as long as so many millions remain in the shadows.

Making sure these people become full taxpayers and pay their fair share will both benefit our economy and make it easier to enforce the laws against unscrupulous or exploitive employers. A tough and fair pathway to earned legal status will mandate that illegal immigrants meet a number of requirements—including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English.
I am so ready to pay taxes or penalties and do the background check.
And duh, we all know English.

Green Card now, please?

Then you don't have to worry about it.

So what happens if the CIR passes without the DREAM Act?

Can the DREAMers still apply for the DREAM Act after using the benefits of CIR?

I seriously doubt that would happen. The Dream Act is definitely going to be attached to CIR.
