This holiday season in Congress, the Democrats have provided the Republicans with a gift-wrapped opportunity to change their tune on the immigration issue. By bringing the DREAM Act to the floor in both chambers, Democrats have offered up a most sympathetic and deserving cohort of young people for protection from deportation. By staying in school or serving in the military, paying fees and keeping a clean record for more than a decade, certain young people who have already been in the U.S. for 5-29 years could have a chance at legal status and eventually citizenship. Even the most ardent opponents of immigration reform find it hard to stand against these high school graduates, valedictorians, students government leaders, and cheerleaders with American accents, a desire to serve their country, and deep, deep roots in America.http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews....hristmas/3609/
