I have a feeling that there's enough Republican support in both houses to pass some sort of legalization program - certainly more than one vote unlike health care - IF the Democrats, including the President, allow it to be brought to a vote. I think the right negotiations can make it possible this year.
On March 26, 2009 Senators Durbin(D) and Lugar(R); Representatives Berman(D) and Diaz-Balart(R) along with several other Republican and Democratic representatives introduced in BOTH chambers the Dream Act. Think about where we were as a country a year ago with none of the mess health care legislation has created and you can see this would have passed easily in Congress. Does anyone know who benched this??
