Dream Act 2010 Status

The democrats have failed to materialize the dreams of nearly two million youths to obtain permanent residency in United States. The senate vote on dream act 2010 was not favorable. The vote turned out to be 56-43 that means instead of winning the support of two republican senators, the democrats lost the support of two democrats. The timing of voting was criticized by people as best suited to win the support of Hispanic immigrants in the coming elections. However the stunt failed and dream act 2010 status is unchanged.

The democrats might seek the approval of the bill after November elections if numbers are favorable. The dream act would have legalized the young immigrants who had stayed in United States for pat 5 years had attended a college or served in military for 2 years. The act would have benefited only those immigrants who were less than 16 years of age upon their arrival in US.

Obama administration was lenient on deporting the young illegal immigrants in a hope to get the bill passed. The democrats think that the educated immigrants have a potential to contribute for the development of the country. The democrats criticized the republicans for their non approval of the bill.

Young immigrants were disappointed over the dream act 2010 status. Some political commentators think that the dream bill was wrongly attached with the “don’t ask don’t tell” bill. The dream act 2010 status will mobilize the young activists to fight for a legal status in United States.
