Following its defeat last December, the DREAM Act has been reintroduced into the Senate. The bill was re-introduced by Senators Richard Durbin, Harry Reid, and Robert Menendez.
The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act would allow many undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as minor children to secure a path to permanent residency in the United States through performing certain actions – such as protecting the United States through service in the military, or by attending and graduating from college.
Whether the DREAM Act goes anywhere this term is yet to be known.
