I almost missed this tidbit in yesterday's story about the protests outside Karl Rove's home:



"Leaders said they want Bush to advocate for the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, a bill that would permit immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least five years to apply for legal resident status once they graduate from high school. The measure would eliminate provisions of current federal law that discourage states from providing in-state tuition to undocumented student immigrants. Immigrant activists say that 50,000 to 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high school each year and that many students can afford college only at the reduced, in-state rates given to legal residents. . . ."We want the DREAM Act, and Karl Rove is sitting on it," said Brenda LaBlanc, a member of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement."



As I pointed out here, the Dream Act wasn't even popular enough in Iowa to make the legistation funnel last week. So they're trying to go over our heads to Washington and cram it down our throats that way? Sheez. Thank Cedar Pundit for pointing out this further development.
