Dare To DREAM

DREAM act appears dead after Dems pull it from consideration
By the CNN Wire Staff
December 9, 2010

The bill would offer a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants
It mainly would affect illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children

(CNN) -- Senate Democrats conceded Thursday they don't have the votes to pass the DREAM Act, a bill that would have offered a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children.
Democrats voted to pull the measure from consideration on Thursday. That likely kills any chance of passage this year for the hotly contested bill, Senate supporters say.
Senate Republicans opposed the bill, standing by their pledge to block any legislation during the lame duck session until the chamber approves bills to extend the Bush tax cuts and fund the government.
