Republicans in the Senate blocked the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization bill, which has passed every year for the past 48 years. The move to block passage also prevented passage of the DREAM Act, a bill that would provide a path to citizenship to high-achieving immigrant youth who grew up here and who commit to serving the U.S. military or attending college.

  • @sectus2393 Yes. As long as it's affection people in our communities, it will always be a sensitive and important subject matter. It has to pass sooner or later, it's just that the Republicans want to delay it as much as possible

    Big businesses, such as tomato plantations, want illegals, because if they don't have illegals, who's going to pick tomatoes for a miserable wage, and long hours.

    It benefits only those corrupted businesses, and all the repubs who are getting paid by them to delay it.

  • @OverUniverse so what your saying is that this bill will pass eventually?

  • @myeyepie There is a chance that the republicans want to go for it, there's just something fishy going on.... not a single one hu? hmmmm

    Seemed a little fishy to me.

  • @sectus2393 Right now we are gaining more strength. There are no near plans on this bill. There are some plans on brining it back up after the elections though, which will be in early November.

    Every time this bill goes up, it keeps getting stronger, because as more people get educated on what the dream act is, they start to support it.

  • What I don't get is why the republicans keep getting blamed for everything not passing when we voted in a democrat majority in both houses? We don't need a single republican vote for this stuff to pass. So why aren't Dems hard on the votes they should have rather than being pissed about the ones they can't expect to have? Seems strange to me.....

  • So whats gonna happen with the dream act now? Is it gonna take years for this bill to pass or even become debatable again?
