Immigration Legislation: Senate Vote on DREAM Act, Immigration in Lame-Duck Congress?

It's going to be a "hot time in the old town" this lame duck session.

Senate Vote on DREAM Act, Immigration in Lame-Duck Congress? - ABC News: "They came through for him during a tight reelection campaign in Nevada. Now Hispanic voters are looking to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to return the favor.

Reid has promised a Senate vote this year on a small piece of immigration legislation known as the DREAM Act, which would give hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants a conditional path to legal residency. "The answer is yes," Reid told Univision host Jorge Ramos in October when pressed about whether there will be a vote. "I have the right to bring that up any time I want."

As Congress reconvenes this week for the final session of the year, Reid now has roughly a month to make good on his promise." Nov. 15, 2010
