GOP control house and senate while dem control the white house - grid lock.

Anti-immigration president get elected, along with GOP taking control of the house and senate - don't want to pass Dream Act since they just kick democrat's ass by being anti-immigration.

Dem take control of the house again - grid lock.

In the pass 10 years, the dynamic of different branches of the government swing from left to right and Dream Act never pass when the left was in control, or when GOP and Dem had split power, or when the right is in control. Dream Act doesn't fit anywhere.


Still, I appreciate senator Durbin and Graham's effort.
