bill is the bill that has had over 60 Members of the Senate who have been supporters of that program. That seems to me to begin to make a good deal of sense. Recognize. in dealing with this whole issue In a comprehensive way. the most vulnerable people inside our borders. those individuals who are here and are undocumented in so many instances are young people. brought here through no fault of their own because their parents brought them here when they were under 16 years of age. who are here for more than 5 years. serving 2 years in the military. graduating from the high schools of this countryit is called the DREAM Act. I see my friend and the principal spokesperson and sponsor of that. the Senator from Illinois. Senator DURBIN. on the floor. He speaks so well to this issue. When we have the amendment before the Senate. I will review some of the great. important successes of many young individuals who came here undocumented and have worked long and hard and have graduated from high school. which is no mean feat when you have more than a 50percent dropout rate among the Hispanic community. The fact that these individuals are here. want to be part of the American dream. want to contribute to our Nationthe DREAM Act gives them the hope and opportunity for the future. which so many who have come here as immigrants and as children. who want to be a part of the American dream. have felt. This will be a proposal I hope we will have a chance to vote on. It will have the border security aspects included in the Graham proposal. It will recognize. if you are going to try to close the border. you are still going to have the great agribusiness in our country that is going to demand workers. We have a way of responding to that. a way about which Senator FEINSTEIN and Senator LARRY CRAIG have spoken to this body. a familiar path that makes a great deal of sense.
