They failed because almost zero GOP voted for Dream Act. We only needed like 5 GOP in the Senate.
Obama quote from 2011. Democrats made him do it.
Quote:
Given that the DREAM Act was rejected again by the Senate last December, Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos, who was moderating the event, asked Obama if he could sign an executive order preventing the deportations.
"With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case," the president said.
"There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president," Obama said.
