Thread: DREAM Deferred

DREAM Deferred

DREAM which was scheduled to come for a vote as recently as
yesterday to the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization bill
did not make it to the floor. We excerpt the following from Frank
Sharry, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum:

"The DREAM Act will be tabled until mid-November when
Majority Leader Reid intends to set aside time for its debate.
Sen. Reid has consistently demonstrated an earnest resolve to
push the Senate to deliberate serious reforms to America's
dysfunctional immigration laws. We thank Senators Richard Durbin
(D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Richard Lugar (R-IN) for their
behind-the-scenes efforts to move the DREAM Act this week, and
take the Majority Leader at his word that he will do all within
his powers to address this important issue. However, we will also
take at their word several Senators, mostly Republicans, who said
they support the DREAM Act but had concerns about the vehicle to
which it was being attached this week. Since the Congress is
unlikely to pass major reform this year, narrowly targeted
measures like DREAM and AgJOBS would serve as stopgap measures
... Narrowly targeted measures like the DREAM Act, which have
garnered support in both houses and both parties, can point the
way towards real improvements for American families, the American
economy, and the bright future of immigrants in this country."
