Pass DREAM Act!

As the Obama administration and Congress look toward reforming immigration law to deal with the estimated 12 million people living in the United States without proper documentation, there's one fix that warrants immediate attention: the DREAM Act.

I found this within the article: "The case of Juan and Alex Gomez, students in South Florida whose Colombian parents were deported a couple years ago, stands out as an example of why the DREAM Act is needed. Juan is now studying at Georgetown on scholarship and Alex is studying and working in South Florida, thanks to a special temporary law that Congress passed to keep them in the country."

Does anyone know what law this is?

i'm in Miami and heard a lot about it. It was a private bill. I'm not sure when it is that they have to leave but yeah it is not permanent. :/

I had the pleasure of meeting with Juan Gomez back in 2007.
Lincoln Diaz Balart and other members of congress sponsored a private bill for him and his brother, the bill was granted with the hopes that the DREAM Act would pass in the time given.

However, the bill came to expiration and had to be renewed, and the renewal was granted so he has until next year I believe. Juan is currently at Georgetown and Alex is in Miami.

Here is a piece of his story, there is a more lengthy editorial somewhere:

Thanks for the info.

Yes, Pass the DA already damn it!!!!!!

I need it to pass already I can't do so many things because I cant drive and I am really tired of it. It keeps affecting my life greatly. We all need happiness and peacefulness in our lives !

I don't get it! If they already have the bills for both the Dream Act and the CIR why is it taking them FOREVER to get them passed? the only reason they didn't in 2007(?) was purely political. Is this not an administration of change?! Obama SOS!
