A DREAM immigrant proposal? A fighting chance for citizenship

“The Senate will likely vote on a controversial measure this week that would give illegal immigrant students a path to citizenship if they go to college or serve in the military.

Proponents say it could help replenish the armed forces, stretched thin by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The children affected, they say, were brought to the United States illegally as small children through no fault of their own and should be given a chance to stay.

Critics decry the measure as an amnesty for lawbreakers and a slap in the face to American families struggling to send their children to college.”
