Revisiting Immigration – HSToday
In the closing moments of 2010, congressional Democrats made a last-minute attempt to pass an immigration reform bill that potentially would have provided a path to legalization for millions of young college students and military service members whose parents brought them into the United States illegally. They failed.
The measure passed the House at the end of the 111th Congress, when Democrats held an ironclad majority. Democratic advocates could not overcome political opposition in the Senate, however, and so the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act died.
