“The DREAM Act failed in the Senate on Wednesday, dashing the latest and best chance Congress had to pass immigration legislation.

The bill would have paved a path to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants if they attended college or entered the military.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, was ready with an amendment that might have made the measure more palatable to some Republicans, but the bill did not get that far.”*
