Dems to reintroduce DREAM Act in House, Senate
Democrats in both houses of Congress plan to reintroduce the DREAM Act, legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for immigrants brought to the United States illegally by their parents.
At a Wednesday press conference, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised that the bill would get a vote on the floor of the Senate, but it’s hard to imagine how he’ll pull that off. The Senate fell five votes short of killing a filibuster on the bill during the lame duck session in December and the Democrats now have a smaller majority than they did at the time.
