Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has promised that the DREAM Act would be the subject of the first amendment to the defense bill. Under that measure, youths who are in the country illegally could become eligible for legal residency after attending college or serving in the military for two years.
The measure appeals to Latino voters, whose turnout will be especially important in the Western states where Reid, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., are in tough campaigns to retain their seats.
Again: Best way for Democrats to buy votes.
