Dream Act Passed the House!
Filed Under (Immigration and Society) by Joe on December 9, 2010
A quick update on the Dream Act – the House passed its version of the Act last night, and the Senate voted today to withdraw its version of the bill and shelve discussion on the House version until a later date. This allows the Democrats in the Senate to build up at least some Republican support for passing any version of the Dream Act once tax cuts, unemployment, and other hot-button issues are resolved. I’m not going to hold my breath for any Republican support, but given the sneaky ways in which Members of Congress hash out deal on the Hill, anything is possible. I think that if tax cuts and unemployment benefits come out in the Republicans’ favor, which looks likely, the Dream Act has a shot at passing, but we won’t really know much until next week. What’s almost certain, though, is that the Dream Act’s only chance of passing is in this Congress; once the Republicans take control of the House next month, I don’t think any immigration-related legislation has a hog’s chance of making it to the floor for at least the next two years.
