5. The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM, Act of 2010

Date passed by the House: December 8, 2010
Party in control of the House: Democratic
Party in control of the presidency: Democratic

The DREAM Act, a piece of legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for young undocumented Americans, passed the House of Representatives during the lame-duck session of the 111th Congress. Just 10 days later, the bill fell five votes short of overcoming a Republican filibuster in the Senate and failed to become law.

The vote on the DREAM Act occurred during the same lame-duck session in which Congress repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and only a month after Democrats lost 63 seats and their majority in the House, as the Republican Party rode to victory on a wave of Tea Party support.

DREAMers and congressional leaders such as Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) worked tirelessly to bring the DREAM Act up for a vote.
And this one DID NOT pass the Senate!! Are they trying to fool people?!?!

So...it passed the House. Doesn't mean anything if it doesn't pass the full Congress.
