| Summary |
October, 2003: Because the DREAM act is a small bi-partisan bill to help kids, supporters are optimistic. But anti-immigrant groups see it as "amnesty for illegals". Inside the Senate Judiciary Committee, the markup is heated. After two weeks, an amended version is finally recommended for full Senate debate. But what exactly did Senators agree to in the confusing markup? The bill's final language must still be defined by opposing staffers. The DREAM act's fate is in their hands |
