introduce in two Weeks!????
 

"Because on the federal horizon is the DREAM Act, a bill to fix this larger issue. It'd be in the state's best interest to be ready for it with students in the pipeline. The DREAM Act is expected to be introduced in the House in about two weeks. Generally speaking, it would grant conditional legal residency to these students as long as they've stayed out of trouble, graduated from high school and been accepted by a college or the military."

I'm kinda curious when the writer says "The DREAM Act is expected to be introduced in the House in about two weeks." I thought Sen. Durbin was planning on introducing the bill in the senate first. Does anyone have any info to clarify this?

Introduction of a bill means nothing in congress, hundreds of bills are introduced in a month. However, I am curious to see the new formulated version of dream!

Would it be perfect timing if DREAM ACt is being introduced in 2 weeks? At the same time the 17-city national "Family Unity" of Congressional Hispanic Caucus would be over and we could use it to push DREAM Act for a vote.

The significance of this article is that it mentioned the HOUSE, we already knew/anticipated its introduction in late march or so, for weeks now.

Either this journalist doesn't know shit and mistakened House for the Senate (which wouldn't be surprising since there's lot of misinformation out there,) or it could be a course changing news, since if the House (with a good dem majority) can act on the bill first, we would have an easier time convincing some of the Senate members.

According to Nakasec it looks like it might get introduced in both chambers.
