Over time, there have been various versions of the original legislation, which was proposed to provide millions of immigrant children who graduated from U.S. High Schools, the opportunity to receive U.S. Residency (a "Green Card") after so many years of being left in the shadows by State and Federal laws. The 2013 Dream Act is expected to provide immigration benefits to those who arrived in the United States as children, before the age of 16 and who have been residing in the U.S. continuously for at least five years prior to the Bill being enacted into Law.

Forget about it.
The Democrats will not allow the Dream Act to be passed on its own; they will want it to be part of the CIR.
The Republicans will allow their Dream Act to be passed on its own as a piece meal bill, but the Democrats will not allow that to happen.
