If you think of it in the terms of what that last one was, maybe you're right; But if the republicans draft a different version...one that is more complimentary of the military, and less gratuitous to democrat voters, I think it might have a different tally. I wouldn't like it, but that's one of my fears, and we should keep up the pressure in the interim. I do not see congress or the senate letting the actual DREAM kids linger on permanently. And by actual Dream kids, I mean the now 14 through 24 year olds who are headed towards graduating something, and are not felons or similarly situated
