BREAKING: Reid to introduce DREAM as stand alone bill.
From the Pro-amnesty website (illegal alien) America's voice
BREAKING: Sen. Reid Will Bring DREAM Act to a Vote As a Stand-Alone Bill
According to the Senator's office, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now plans to bring the Dream Act up for a vote as a stand-alone measure after Thanksgiving recess.
Stay tuned for more details on timing as they develop.
Last week, thousands of you sent letters thanking Sen. Reid for not backing down from his promise to move forward on the popular, bipartisan measure. Thank you. Your voices are making a difference. We look forward to working with the Senator to make the DREAM Act a reality in the coming weeks.

Illegal aliens
We have to stop this. Illegal aliens must be deported now. And the Democrats must be voted out.

The good thing about a stand alone aproach is that it can be amended with poison pills, or draged on.
I'm sure pro-enforcement senators will want to attach more enforcement laws (E-verify, more border security). And many pro-illegals will reject the whole bill. Lets hope that is the case.

Not enough time to pass this puppy
Besides , he is killing the dem party for years if he tries to ram this one
with all the other problems this country has.
But it will also have to be reconciled with the house , and then more amends
I just don't see them having the time

I would not be surprised if Pelosi did not introduce a Dream Act Bill until the Senate act. She does not want to force members to take a tough vote and then have it defeated or filibustered in the Senate.

Go Republicans!! Drag this one out forever until the DemoRATS have to cave in , load it up with amendments, etc. Stick it in Harry's hindquarters until it comes out of his mouth with all the other crap he spews out of it.

Sen. Harry Reid vows to advance DREAM Act, 'don't ask, don't tell' legislation
The majority leader announced that the Senate will proceed with votes during the lame-duck session on repealing the ban on gays serving openly in the military, and legislation to allow a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants.

Reporting from Washington
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced late Wednesday that the Senate will proceed with votes in the lame-duck session on two Democratic priority issues – repealing the ban on gays serving openly in the military, and legislation to allow a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants.
Reid's decision to pursue both items indicates Democrats are unwilling to cede their top issues despite overwhelming Republican gains in the midterm elections. Both issues face opposition from Republicans.
Reid said the vote on repealing "don't ask, don't tell" will be brought forward with the Defense authorization bill after Congress returns from the Thanksgiving week recess.
"We need to repeal this discriminatory policy so that any American who wants to defend our country can do so," Reid said.
The majority leader also said the immigration bill, known as the DREAM Act, would be brought up as a stand-alone measure. In the past, the measure had failed to advance as an amendment to broader legislation.
The immigration bill would allow young people who came to this country illegally as children to be offered a path to citizenship if they attend college or join the military. Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) is a chief sponsor.
"Last time we sought to bring up this bill, all Republicans blocked our effort, even though many have been supporters of the DREAM Act in the past," Reid said. "I hope that our Republican colleagues will join me, Sen. Durbin and Democrats in passing this important piece of legislation, now that we have a stand-alone version and that political season is over."
Congress is expected to be in recess next week for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lawmakers are scheduled to return the following week to continue a complicated lame-duck session that includes debate over several must-pass bills, including an extension of expiring tax cuts and legislation to fund the government.
The newly-elected members begin their terms in January.
