Key Dem Says He’d Support Rubio’s DREAM Act

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (IL), the Democrats’ leading crusader for immigration reform, says he would support Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) scaled-back version of the DREAM Act.

“If he’s got a proposal, I will work with Rubio, I’m telling you that,” Gutiérrez told Fox News Latino. “I think he’s sincere, I think he’s genuine.”

“Even if it’s watered down and does not grant citizenship, if it stops the deportations and doesn’t exclude them from becoming citizens, doesn’t stop that from happening, [then] yes [I would support Rubio’s bill],” the congressman added.

The bill is a longshot at best, particularly in the Republican-led House. Rubio, who has yet to release the legislation, has been angling to blame the White House for its likely failure.

Finally something new in this slow dream act news cycle.. Can't wait for June..

This was reported on the 18th -_-

This is one of those times where i'd wish days of May would go by fast.. So it will be june!!

Word. Feeling so sluggish today. It's like withdrawal feeling since there isn't much going on this week. June needs to get here quickly!!!

Haha last year around this time, I was learning that after what happened in December 2010, they are reintroducing the DA again. Looks like its kind of happening again this year too...

Chill out folks, only like two weeks left till June. Go play Halo or COD until then, lol. Don't get too worked up 'bout this though.

June is shaping up to be quite an exciting month politically. We've got the supreme court rulings on Arizona's immigration law and health care, also the possible introduction of a Rubio Dream Act.

June can't come soon enough.
