Good article. Just took some interesting pieces.

"Mr. Zogby, the aide to Senator Durbin, disagrees. He said all key Democratic committee chairmen support the bill, and pointed out that Sen. Harry Reid, the majority leader, cosponsored the original Dream Act bill introduced in 2001 by Sen. Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah. That "sends a strong message to the Democratic caucus," he said."

"Even if the bill clears committee, it will have to compete with energy and health care for floor time."

"The Senate's bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, which last week discussed how to approach comprehensive immigration reform. A Senate staff member, who spoke on condition of anonymity because key committees hadn't yet taken official stances on the Dream Act, said it would be difficult for Congress to take up a small piece of immigration legislation without it "snowballing into a larger discussion on comprehensive immigration reform.""

I find the writing quite confusing, though I went ahead to read the article instead.

Well, I don't have much to say. This DA will take some time, maybe soon, maybe a bit later.

i don't understand this one

President Obama, in contrast to his predecessor, has offered unqualified support for immigration reform and has appointed to government posts several officials who fought for the Dream Act's passage in 2007.
