"Working on legislation"...The legislation has been bipartisanly written for years now, they aren't really adding anything substantial from what I've read. However, I have to say that they have to make it a requirement for both men AND women (especially the women), to be productive and work and pay taxes; not to mention learn English and educate themselves.

Beneficiaries of the DREAM act obviously speak English, and the ones who've finished their education cannot wait to be productive members of society and pay their share of taxes. If the holdup from all the naysayers all of these years, supposedly, is that people don't want to assimilate, then the administration has to ensure that people who want to become Americans, don't just stay at home (ie, the 'pregnancy' clause in the 2006/2007 CIR bill) taking resources. It paines me to write this, but it's true; 2010 is mere weeks away, and if we are finally that close to achieving our goal, then we cannot allow people who aren't willing to assimilate to steal it.
