So Lohfgren, Pelosi, Boehner, anyone else to call and suggest they attach DREAM with it ? Anyone in the Senate who is big on this, or is that premature ?
I believe Senators kyle and cornyn might be for it but i also believe durbin is against H1B1 visa increases.(i think)

I'm putting Senator McConnell (Senate Minority Leader) on my list. I'm gonna ask him if he supports his counterparts in the House leadership and then ask him to explain how much sense it makes to increase H1-B visas and not pass DREAM. Depending on how sensible his response his, I'm going to recommend attaching DREAM to the bill.

As always, I'm going to mention Durbin's comments on H1-B visas and the strict meritorious requirements of DREAM Act beneficiaries.
