Actually,Dream act didn't come to the floor until the 'Grand compromise' failed earlier in 2007.Comprehensive groups who had insisted on the big bill were trying to resuscitate the bill when a series of "bad amendments" were passed on the compromise forcing Republicans to kill the bill.Now that Democrats are in charge with more than a sizable majority in the Senate,I fully expect the dynamics to be a bit different from the last time CIR was debated,but politics has a way of giving people the shaft at the last minute sometimes.
However,since the Republican
anti-immigrant groups are now a bit wary,this could be the chance necessary to enact something if the appropriate action is taken within a meaningful time period.

“You see? We’ve got a bad economy that’s getting worse -- and the only way to fix that is to give amnesty to 20 million illegal immigrants!” exclaims Simcox.
“If S. 9 gets through the U.S. Senate -- and who’s going to stop it, unless millions of Americans whip them into line again -- it’s a sure bet that it will be pushed hard in the U.S. House by Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and the rest of the pro-amnesty ‘leaders’ of the Democrats there,” argues Simcox. .......
............Simcox also warned that a recent meeting at a hotel on Capitol Hill, attended by a group of influential leaders in the Latino community, did not augur well for safeguarding the borders.
