Senate Poised To Act Quickly On Key Issues

Here is another pro-dream article to add to the count.

Quote:

Civil rights: After the failure of sweeping immigration overhaul, Democrats scaled back their effort to focus on the DREAM Act. The legislation would have halted deportation efforts of children who are here illegally, giving them citizenship opportunities if they entered the country before age 16 and have lived here for five years.

That bill was blocked after receiving 52 votes, but four supporters were not present. For the 111th Congress, seven Democrats will replace Republicans who voted against the bill. Barring a push for broader immigration restructuring by Obama, Senate aides said this smaller measure should have enough support to pass.

They all know that we know this, we just need to put pressure and attention towards the issue more than ever. However, it's nice that the tone in which DREAM is spoken of has changed for the better... so far.

Thanks Ianus.

Yeah, its a lot better than "uphill climb" or "chances of passage are slim."
