President. other colleagues wish to address the Senate. so I will be brief. I give credit to our friend and colleague from Illinois. Senator DURBIN. who reminded us about the opportunities we have in creating an educational pathway for the children of the undocumented. We know the children who come in here are coming in through the action of their parents. We understand that. It is through the actions of the parents. The DREAM Act students are eligible for Z visas and permanent residence if the student came in as a child under age 16 and has good moral character. or attends college or enlists in the military for 2 years. I know. as chairman of the Education Committee. the challenge we have in terms of having those students--Hispanic students and others from other cultures and traditions. in terms of the education experience. Having a good education opportunity for those children in this country is key to our national security. key to the success of our economy. and key to the success of the hopes and dreams of these children.
