A day after House Speaker John A. Boehner and several Democrats expressed doubts about the chances of an alternative DREAM Act bill passing, the senator who is drafting it said he hopes compassion and cooler heads will help the measure succeed.
In a story in the publication Roll Call, Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who is drafting the measure, is quoted as saying: “I think what [Boehner] said was that it is going to be difficult given this political climate. I agree with that. I think it is going to be difficult. I never said it was going to be easy. If this was an easy issue, it would have been done a long time ago.”
Rubio has said that he is trying to find a workable measure that could address the limbo in which thousands of undocumented youth find themselves – they had no say in the decision of adults to bring them to the United States unlawfully, yet they pay the price when they cannot attend college or drive or get a job.
At the same time, Rubio said, he wants a measure that won’t be rewarding illegal immigration by giving these youths a fast-track of sorts to legal U.S. permanent residency, more casually known as a “green card” status.
So his idea is to allow these immigrants the chance to obtain a visa that could last perhaps years and be renewed, he said. The immigrants would have to show that they’re attending college or serving in the military, and they might be allowed to apply for permanent U.S. residency, though they likely would have to go through that process in the same way as anyone else, Rubio has said.

I wonder if one has to go back to college if a Dreamers has a 4 year degree already?

So I know there isn't a rule against posting in Spanish, but there's been issues before with insulting language. So at least for the forums let's keep it in English so everyone can understand what you are writing.

I actually have a suggestion for this site in respect to folks that speaks other languages. We should make English the only language used on this site because of the Dream Act. It looks good for the Dreamers. No vulgarity allowed and now even in censor form. Must have the correct spellings and try to write in correct grammar. What do you think?
