Reid moves forward on DREAM Act

Although this will most likely end up being a purely symbolic vote taken by Reid to thank the Hispanic voters who he can thank for saving his political career, I sincerely hope that this bill is able to pass. Republicans say that this opens the door to amnesty and well, so what if it does? These are people that have been in this country since they were little kids and who have brought themselves up by their bootstraps to get where they are now. These people who would be granted citizenship are productive members of society who are college bound and are going to move on to bigger and better things. It is asserted that these are lay abouts who are mooching off of the system and will give nothing back but what Republicans fail to see is that these people are the face of future American too! These people are achieving the American dream and we should reward them for that, with the citizenship they have so long coveted.
