I’m sure he chose the name for political reasons—pro-amnesty Democrats don’t want to face a bunch of ads saying they “voted against the Dream Act,” and Republicans can claim they supported the Dream of a college education without adopting amnesty.
Sounds like a carefully crafted bill to me.
But I wouldn’t want to get in the way of a good gasket blowing. That would make me “ridiculously naive or on the side of lawbreakers”. ;-/
