Graham, Durbin introduce bill to give citizenship to ‘Dreamers’

Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., have re-introduced the bipartisan DREAM Act. If passed, the bill would allow people who were brought to the United States illegally as children to earn lawful permanent residence and eventually citizenship. According to their offices, immigrants would qualify if they: Came to the U.S. as children and are without lawful status; Graduate from high school or obtain a GED; Pursue higher education, work lawfully for at least three years, or serve in the military; Pass security and law enforcement background checks; Demonstrate proficiency in the English language and a knowledge of United States history; and Have not committed a felony or other serious crimes. Graham and Durbin have introduced the same bill in the last three sessions of Congress.
