Harkin: Dems will try again on DREAM Act
By Michael O'Brien - 12/16/10 09:33 AM ET

Democrats will try one more time to bring up a controversial immigration bill in the lame-duck session of Congress, a key Senate chairman said Wednesday evening.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said that Democrats would make one last stab at passing the DREAM Act in the Senate.

"We are going to try to bring the DREAM Act up one more time. And again, that may be filibustered by the Republicans," Harkin said last night on MSNBC. "If it is, well then, we'll have to be in here after Christmas."

The DREAM Act is an immigration bill that would provide a path to citizenship, under certain conditions, for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
