“I’m not going to support any act that I don’t think adds to jobs, or military or to the economy. Consequently I won’t support any motion to proceed or any kind of cloture on the DREAM Act,” Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) told POLITICO. “In addition, I think that has to be part of an overall comprehensive solution to immigration once we have the border secured, not until then.”

Stop wasting time with guys like this who came out with a plain simple "no". What about Manchin from WV and a group of others no one heard from, Olympia Snowe?

Nobody expected his support. He even opposed the health care bill until he got a deal for his state from Senator Reid and, then, he got attacked by Republicans in his state and backed off.

Like MiGSTeR said, some of the Democratic Senators who voted for the Defense Authorization Bill never voted for the DREAM Act. In fact, the DREAM Act was never voted.
