U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D−N.Y.) pushed the importance of sweeping immigration reform in Flushing Friday afternoon, continuing to distance herself from more conservative policy positions she held on the controversial topic as a congresswoman.


She said broad reforms are needed, such as giving illegal immigrants in the Unites States a path to citizenship. She pointed to the recently passed Dream act — which lifted tuition regulations and provides a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant teenagers hoping to go to college — as a sign that progress is being made on the topic.

“I really believe this is something that could happen this year,” she said.
I think they meant to say the recently introduced Dream act.

I prefer to see it as a prediction of the near future.

haha same here.
It is pretty safe to say she has flipped her immigration stance since becoming a senator.
Her constituents are now made up of a higher percentage of 1st and 2nd generation immigrants and realized going against the grain would equal dooms day come her re-election time.
