DREAM IS DEAD FOR NOW
Monday, December 20, 2010 at 3:07PM in Immigration Law
The decade-old DREAM Act once again failed to break a
filibuster in the Senate on Saturday morning, effectively killing
the bill this year and shutting the door on what perhaps was the
last chance for pro-immigration reform legislation until at least
the 2012 election. After years of Congress failing to deal with the
nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants, Hispanic leaders and
immigration activists expressed frustration at the vote, vowing to
target senators in 2012 and future elections.

Even with an all democratic congress after 2014 and a liberal president after 2012, it still isn't likely that there is going to be any meaningful resolution to the proposed immigration reform issue any time soon.
