Immigration Website To Live-Blog DREAM Act Vote This Afternoon
LIW blogger Pat Young also writes for the New York State Immigrant Action Fund, and he’ll be live-blogging on that website this afternoon about the vote to include the DREAM Act as part of a defense spending bill. Click here to follow his coverage.
Prominent national leaders like Colin Powell and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) have led the push for the bill in recent days, and there have been rallies in support of the bill across the country, including gatherings today in Miami and New York City.
However, an article in the Washington Post today said that the prospects for the bill passing “are considered slim,” and no Republican has publicly announced support for attaching the legislation to the defense spending bill.
