I believe that the DREAM Act is a good act. and I believe that its purposes are beneficial. I think it ought to be enacted. But I have grave reservations about seeing a part of comprehensive immigration reform go forward because it weakens our position to get a comprehensive bill. Right now. we are witnessing a national disaster. a governmental disaster. as States and counties and cities and townships and boroughs and municipalitiesevery level of governmentare legislating on immigration because the Congress of the United States is derelict in its duty to proceed. We passed an immigration bill out of both Houses last year. It was not conferenced. It was a disgrace that we couldnt get the peoples business done. We were unsuccessful in June in trying to pass an immigration bill. I think we ought to be going back to it. I have discussed it with my colleagues.
