Two weeks ago and we are now just hearing about it?

The measure currently enjoys 105 sponsors in the House, and 35 in the Senate. It's also included in the latest comprehensive immigration reform proposals promoted by Senator Charles Schumer (Democrat, New York) and Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina), and was recently endorsed by the White House. Despite having been introduced as a stand-alone bill as far back as 2000, though, neither the full House or Senate has ever voted on the measure.

Reid made the commitment to activists after he decided not to offer Dream as an amendment to the 2011 Defense Authorization Act, the broad bill that Congress uses to establish its annual framework for defence spending. Leading Senate Democrats, including Robert Menendez (Democrat, New Jersey), the Senate's lone Latino, had opposed trying to pass Dream as an amendment, arguing that it would hold up passage of the defence bill, and that a failed push would only make it harder to get Dream passed later.

Like i said, the the whole article is filled with misinformation.
