DREAM Act May Be Dead

The National People's Action (a pro-immigrant rights coalition
group) protested outside White House senior advisor Karl Rove's
residence last Sunday. The protestors wanted to obtain Mr. Rove's
support for the DREAM Act, which would permit undocumented
immigrant students to attend state universities at an in-state
tuition rate. The protestors entered Mr. Rove's lawn and pounded
on his windows frightening Mr. Rove's son and a neighbor's child
who was in the house at the time, enraging Mr. Rove who demanded
that the protestors leave. According to a Wall Street Journal op-ed,

the neighbor's child was in fact the son of an immigration
attorney.   Far from achieving their aims, the protestors' efforts
will likely backfire. Without Mr. Rove's support and by extension
the President's support, the DREAM Act is likely dead for 2004.
