Eric Cantor and Judiciary chair Goodlatte are supporting the Dream Act. This is a big move from past positions. Now,I read in the Hill that Luis Guitirez and Xavier Becerra say that does not go far enough. Not far enough? Obama with 59 Democrat seats was not able to pass the Dream Act in the senate in 2010. Now many Republicans are on board. For them to say it is "not enough"says to me that they really do not want to improve people's lot. Just play games. No massive immigration bill is going to be passed in the house. If nothing happens this year,it's extremely unlikely to happen in 2014,an election year. Since Dems are very unlikely to win the house in 2014,and Republicans now have a better chance at the senate than before,any reform could be a nonstarter. It will be interesting to see if Dems are just trying to get as much as they can,or if they really think the Dream Act,which they have always supported,is really "not enough". If that's the case,they are worse than hypocrites.
