The passage of this bill would show the world that the U.S. has given up on enforcement of our immigration laws. Don’t let it happen.
Lawmakers are still hammering out a compromise on the Bush tax rate extension, but the White House Tuesday pressed for Republicans to help pass another controversial piece of legislation – the DREAM Act.
“We’re expecting a vote in the Senate quite likely to be tomorrow,” White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz said in a conference call with reporters, though by some other estimates the bill won’t hit the Senate floor until later in the week.”There is a tremendous amount of work going on both in the building where I work, but also around the country to make sure this is a positive vote.”
The conference call, which stressed the immigration legislation’s potential positive impact on military readiness, was the third call from administration officials advocating for the DREAM Act in less than a week.
