Senators Look Toward Immigration Reform

Senators Charles Schumer (Democrat) from New York and Lindsey Graham (Republican) from South Carolina are reportedly discussing renewing efforts in Congress to enact comprehensive Immigration Reform.  According to an article in the on-line political news site, Politico,  some congressional representatives believe there is a "shot at reform" this year.  Reform could include the DREAM act which would permit enrolled college students to apply for legal permanent resident status and could also include provisions for temporary workers and possibly long term relief for other immigrants in the United States.
