ABC News’ Sunlen Miller and Devin Dwyer report: President Obama today joined top Congressional Democrats in urging Congress to pass a small piece of immigration legislation known as the DREAM Act before it adjourns for the year. The measure would give hundreds of thousands of young, undocumented immigrants a conditional path to legal residency.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has repeatedly promised a vote on the measure during the lame-duck session. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also expressed support for bringing a bill to the floor, although not until after Thanksgiving.
“This legislation has traditionally enjoyed support from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and would give young people who were brought as minors to the United States by their parents the opportunity to earn their citizenship by pursuing a college degree or through military service,” the White House said in a statement following the president’s closed-door meeting with leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus this afternoon.
The DREAM Act would apply to immigrants younger than 36 years old who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children under the supervision of their parents and have maintained "good moral character," among other requirements.

35 year old “children”. The whole thing is nauseating.
Is the dumb SOB deaf AND blind?
Just double down on the same old crap.......
No, he just does not give a damn about what you and I want.
No more complicated than that.
Blame it’s failure to pass on the GOP in 2012 to secure the latino vote ,,, just brilliant !
This is the Democrat answer to the election drubbing.
Manufacture more dependent voters who just so happen to be current illegal aliens in the country.
They would sooner give your country away to illegals than compromise with those citizens who demand a restoration of its core Constitutional ideals.
In a nutshell - our Government has declared War on us.
Spot on... “our government has declared war on us”
Just Wow!
As an American I dream about our laws being enforced and the illegal aliens being deported. About the votes you have to remember the traitors like McAmnesty.
They might pick off a Brown or McLame on our side but on the other side think the Dems have some blue dogs who are up for election in ‘12 who would be afraid to vote for this.
See tagline below.
I would have thought that the slaughter in the Dem ranks might have caught his attention.
My DREAM:
DEMOCRATS
RESUME
EXISTENCE
AS
MINORITY
Most American's are against this...and it won't go over good if they try to ram it down our throats.
We would not have to be concerned about the Latino vote if we would just require proof of a voter’s legal right to cast a ballot. Having the assigned duty of a poll watcher in the 04 election and being told that we could not question anyone’s right to vote, I’m thinking that we don’t stand much of a chance passing any law like that.
DREAM ACT?
What’s DREAM stand for?
Drugs Rape Extortion Anarchy Murder ?
Well that works out great for his domestic military force and the millions of illegals from the middle east Africa Cuba Venezuela Mexico etc..
Its time for our reps to dispense with the civilities start screaming at the a holes..you are robbing my grandchildren, let them move in with you and you pay for them..get mean, screw Obamma..and the friggin commies..
As an American I dream about our laws being enforced and the illegal aliens being deported.

AMEN! I also have a dream that the clowns in charge will stop spending my children’s money and future. I dream that our government will follow the Constitution.
Don’t worry this won’t pass.
