This is the bill that was introduced today in the house of representatives by the house subcommittie of immigration. It's basically the same as the Dream Act, but now we have support in both the house and senate!

This is not the first time Congress has considered the unique situation of undocumented students. Last year, the Senate included provisions of the "Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors" (DREAM) Act as part of its comprehensive immigration reform bill. In the current session, the DREAM Act has enjoyed support in the Senate and has a counterpart, the American Dream Act, in the House.
Does this mean that there is two sepparate DREAM acts? One in the senate, and one in the House?[/list]

Yes, but they are pretty much the same thing.

True...but isn't the American Dream better since it's being considered in the House and not the Senate?

That has absolutely no effect on the quality of the bill.

I meant, doesn't it have a better chance of passing since it's already in the House and not the Senate?
