WASHINGTON — US Education Secretary Arne Duncan Thursday pressed lawmakers to start debating a proposed law that would allow children of illegal immigrants to go to US universities.

Duncan said he hoped lawmakers will "start debate and ultimately pass" the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act during the lame duck session of Congress which began this week.
Quote:
Duncan denied he was trying to ram the act through Congress during the lame-duck session, in which President Barack Obama's Democratic Party is still majority in both houses -- in January, the House of Representatives switches to Republican control.

"I don't think about whether it's this Congress or next Congress," Duncan told reporters.

"This is as good a time as any, and given the urgency and the desperate need to have a better educated and knowledge-based workforce, I think we should move now."

Even with this momentum the Dream act will still be opposed by the Repubs.

shut up DA user, nobody knows that for sure right now. what we CAN do is calling the senators and mobilizing actions as best as we can so that when that day comes, few senators would surprise us by voting for us.

you sitting there and spewing empty optimism isnt helping anybody. if you have the time, call your senator one more time.

My point since the beginning, I've even tried to explain thorough some Poli Sci equations, TO ALL READING IN COPY: THERE IS NO CERTAIN PREDICTION IN POLITICS, ALL WE CAN DO IS INFLUENCE OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, LETS GET TO WORK.!!!!

No one does but based on my findings, we do have enough votes in the Senate but anything can change.
