Nakasec Legislative update[Dream related] - Page 3

I hope it happens.

wow... It's good to be back after so long and read news like these!!!

I'm incredibly happy right now, although I won't go over board with it... ^_^
Let's just get ready for a very busy March/April

I'll do 3 if it passes. I swear, just remind me though.

I agree with Ianus. I don't want to be a buzz kill but introduction of the bill in late March, according to NAKASEC's timeline, is just the first step towards the Dream Act. In 2007, Durbin introduced Dream in March and didn't get debated until October 2007. Granted, Dream was attached to the CIR bills debated in May and June 2007. Also, Durbin tried to attach Dream to a military budget bill in July 2007 but was forced to withdraw it because of lack of time to introduce and debate the bill.

We don't really know when Dream Act will be debated (or attached to CIR), but the introduction of the bill is definitely a good step. I hope we get our Dream debate on the floor sooner rather than later.

EDIT: Forgot to add that Durbin tried again to attach to some bill in Sept. 2007 but was forced to withdraw because of a filibuster threat by the Republicans.

Great news indeed.

Well, just remember. The Congress has sooo much on its plate. I think that the DREAM Act will be debated around late this year.

That's my feeling. But until that happens, we need to get the new Senators that are Democrats to vote for it.

late march? hmmm that would be the greatest birthday present!
