Recurring DREAM Act back in Congress
-
- March
- 26
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act has been reintroduced in Congress, the advocacy 
group America’s Voice reports. This has long been considered one of the most compelling legalization bills, because it would help young high school graduates who came to the United States before they were 16 and who attend college or enlist in the military for two years. But the legislation was narrowly defeated last time. This web site is keeping tabs on the yeas and nays. The Citizen Orange blog is making a passionate argument for its passage.
Introducing the bill, according to America’s Voice, were Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) and U.S. Representatives Howard Berman (D-CA) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL). In the House, co-sponsors are Representatives Lucile Roybal-Allard (D-CA), Devin Nunes (R-CA), Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Jared Polis (D-CO), John Conyers (D-MI) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA).
