'''The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act''' (S. 2075) is a [[United States]] [[bill]] that would provide a two step path to full citizenship to illegal aliens. The act was first introduced in 2003 and then reintroduced in 2005 by Democrat Senator [[Richard Durbin]] and Republican Senators [[Chuck Hagel]] and [[Richard Lugar]]. The bill would specifically deal with an estimated 65,000 illegal immigrant students which graduated from United States high schools each year. The bill failed to pass the Senate in September 2010. But Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] has vowed to bring the bill to the Senate floor for a vote during the lame duck session of December, 2010.<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/12/08/breaking-dream-act/ Fox News; Breaking Down the DREAM Act, 12/9/2010]</ref>
