Senator Durbin suggested that the Senate might take up the Dream Act, which would give citizenship (or begin the process anyway) to illegal residents in the US who go to college or serve in military. 
Which is a slightly misleading summary.
'Cause, right now, illegal residents in the US who graduate from the US school system cannot go to college. (Mind you - at least they can go to school til they're 18. Which, of course, helps make feasible the whole proposition of a huge population of "illegals" that noone cares about.)

'Kay, so it is possible somehow. Nevermind. That was probably misstated in the German article where I first heard of the proposal.
