Senate scrapped legislation last week that would have granted amnesty to 360,000 high school graduates who came to the United States illegally. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, would have given these youth conditional citizenship if they attended two years of college or served two years in the military. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., withdrew the proposal after it faced increased opposition from senators on the left and right. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he plans to push the bill through Senate by December.
