It's in spanish, but you can use google translate to change it for you.

To sum up the key part, Obama said that during the next session of congress, the Dream Act would definably pass.

Here's the first passage translated:

"WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said Thursday in Washington that during the next session of Congress the Dream Act bill, which would home to thousands of undocumented students with excellent grades in school and who were admitted with less than 16 years United States will be adopted."

Funny... Every time he or some other politician gives it a "definitely" its when they are talking to Spanish television.

He said the same thing on an english network. And by next legislative session does he mean the 112th congress Or november legislative session By 2011 i hope he means b4 2011. fol.

Re: Here's Hoping: Obama says dream act by 2011.
 

I'm assuming he meant the November session, or at least thats what I'm hoping for.

Btw Task, do you know what English network? I couldn't find it.

He must be talking about MTV bc I didn't see any English network reporting this. And even on MTV he didn't straight up say it, he said something along the lines of being "somewhat optimistic".


Who cares what they say anyways. Can't wait around on the word of a politician.

Next session is the lameduck session.

In the same article, it says that Obama made that statement during a questionaire organized by MTV network.

Here is what I see going down

No Dream act vote for this year

Republicans and Tea party take over

2011
Republicans and Tea Party will pass a weird version of immigration reform that only covers border security and all that e-verify system. After certain years they will tackle the people that are already here.

Very unlikely because if Dem were the minority party in Senate, you'll see filibuster for any radical immigration measure.

I dont care what Obama says. He is a lier. Besides its not up to him. All he has to do is sign the bill after the congress has voted on it and it is ready to become law. If it was Bush than we have completely different game. Than we can have two separate wars with two sovereign nations without even congress' approval.

Still hoping and dreaming.
