Today, champions of the DREAM Act in the Senate took an important leap in moving the DREAM Act forward this year. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Lugar (R-IN), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) introduced DREAM as an attachment to the Department of Defense authorization bill (HR 1585), a bill already being debated.
DREAM's attachment will be voted on Wednesday at the earliest and the entire bill could be brought to a vote as early as this week.
The DREAM Act would open the doors for immigrant students to go to college and to have a future. Congress' failure to enact immigration reform legislation this year should not prevent immigrant young people from achieving their dreams.
