Mitch McConnell spokesman: Stopping the DREAM Act isn’t a top priority for us
 
From an anti-immigration website:
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/11/2...iority-for-us/

Quote:
Republicans are ramping up their opposition to the legislation,
noting that simply by applying for the Dream Act’s program, illegal aliens could be given a hiatus from the law for as long as six years. They also note the bill will grant illegal aliens eligibility for in-state tuition and the right to sponsor their parents and extended family for legalization…
An aide to a moderate GOP senator said Democrats haven’t made any serious attempts to discuss the bill with the other side of the aisle. There is “no real organized effort that I am aware of,” the source said, “generally this is seen for what it is — a political, not policy driven endeavor.”…
Potentially offering hope to the legislation’s advocates, Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said Republicans aren’t making it their top priority to kill the bill.
“I don’t have a whip count on it…Our priority is making sure no one gets a tax hike and funding the government while reducing spending,” Stewart said.

See this is the problem Im am having with the Democrats. Every few years, when they are in trouble, they come out with thisDream act as a way to get hispanic and immigrant voters to vote for them, knowing they dont want it to pass, because then they cant use it the next time. I mean they are not even talking to the other side about what to do. And I think that they dont consider the DREAM a priority cuz they are not voting for it, and know it wont pass

Im afraid that compromising it will mean changing the age, and making the dream different from its original purpose

I think a good comrpomise will be to lower the age to 30, but still have the provision that if you have at least a 2 year degree you can apply, leave to the states the decicion of who gets instate tuition, make us pay a fee, check our criminal background with fingerprints, instead of green cards give us renewable work permits, and don't allow us to petition immidiate family members until we become citizens.

i think this will be a very good compromise no??

They also have the retroactive provisions for that.
