DREAM is an acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know we can&#8217;t do comprehensive immigration reform,&#8221; Reid said at a news conference. &#8220;But those Republicans we had in the last Congress have left us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many Hispanic voters are angry with Democratic leaders for not doing more to pass an immigration overhaul. The decision by Reid to add the DREAM Act now could help soothe that anger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, of course, when Republicans vote against the immigration reform, VoteVets will write a piece on Vets Voice about how Republicans voted against funding the troops. Reid is only doing this to earn himself some votes in Nevada.  <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reid tries to sneak immigration reform measures through the Senate by adding them to the upcoming &hellip; <a title=\"Reid lards up defense bill with immigration reform\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20464\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Reid lards up defense bill with immigration reform<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,20,47,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-congress-sucks","category-illegal-immigrants","category-liberals-suck","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20464\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
