While some Republicans turned in the House and supported the Dream Act, the Dems in the Senate don't have the votes. It appears Democrats are shelfing the Dream Act for now because they don't have the votes according to the AP.
WASHINGTON – Democrats have delayed a showdown vote on legislation carving out a path to legal status for foreign-born youngsters brought to this country illegally.
Facing GOP objections, Democrats are putting aside the so-called Dream Act. They're short of the 60 votes needed to advance the measure.
Democratic officials say they'll try to move a House-passed version after the Senate acts on funding the government and extending tax cuts. Republicans have said they won't agree to consider anything else until those issues are addressed.
The bill grants hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children a chance to gain legal status if they enroll in college or join the military.
Why wouldn't you enroll in college with all the federal money available. Good grief!
