It is about time that someone in the
administration specifically mentions Dream.
Quote:
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano reiterated the president’s stated commitment to immigration reform during a speech at New Mexico State University on Wednesday. Although she could not say when such a proposal will come to the forefront, Napolitano said the groundwork is already being laid behind the scenes for an immigration reform bill.
Napolitano did not promise that such reform would happen at all, but pointed out that President Barack Obama has said immigration reform will be one of his top priorities when the debate over health care reform concludes.
The New Mexico-born Homeland Security Secretary said it would include a proposal similar to the DREAM Act , which would grant certain undocumented immigrants–such as those who arrived in the United States as children and graduate from high school–the opportunity to earn permanent residency.
Any reform bill, she said, must address the fact that “we are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants and opportunity.”
“Our hope is that a bill will come out,” she said about immigration reform. “I’m not going to give you a timetable.”
