On the advent of President Obama’s reelection inauguration, Senator Richard “Dick” Durbin stated that he was optimistic the Senate might pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. Senator Durbin holds substantial influence in the Senate, as he holds the Senate Majority Whip position, the second highest position in the Democratic Party leadership in the Senate.
The possible immigration bill might have the DREAM Act included. If this happens, college in the U.S. will soon be affordable for illegal immigrants who have always wanted the opportunity. Work permits will also be possible for a lot of illegal immigrants who qualify, which could allow them to obtain driver’s licenses, state IDs, and social security cards.
Durbin even believes that Republicans might already be rethinking their position on immigration. The 2012 election could be the reason why the realization came about. The support of the Hispanic community and Republicans is very important in any possibility of immigration reform. The result of the previous election shows how votes from the Hispanic community can have an impact, and the value and influence immigration reform has on the elections.
