House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to push for a vote during the lame-duck session on a bill that would legalize young, undocumented immigrants if they attend college or serve in the military, according to Democratic sources familiar with a leadership conference call Wednesday.

We don't have enough votes to get it pass through the Senate in the lame-duck session.

NO, YOU ARE WRONG!!!! WE DO HAVE ENOUGH VOTES.

last time 56 senators voted in favor of dream act. we still have reid of nevada, lugar, lincoln of nebraska who lost his seat, and we have alaskan senator murkowski she was added as a "write in senator" and she agreed to vote liberal but if she doesn't that means we have, 59 votes, that means we only need one more republican, mccain can help, or lemiux, or susan collins, or bennet of utah, or the other moderate republican i forgot her name. but we only need one more!!!!
