Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, along with Democratic lawmakers Zoe Lofgren and Luis Gutiérrez, wrote an op-ed in Univision, the Spanish-language television website, which called on Obama – in Spanish - to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants under the administrations “Dream Act” plan.

The Obama administration is said to be reviewing two conditions in determining whether an illegal immigrant can remain inside the United States: the amount of time a person has been in the country, and the person’s connections to other family members who may be in the country, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing “people familiar with the administration’s thinking.” Those requirements, the right-leaning daily business publication said, “could offer protection to between one million and four million people” of the estimated 11 million illegals now living in the country. Democrats, eager to attract voters ahead of midterm elections, want to ram through immigration ‘dream’ provisions in a bill passed by the Senate, which has never been brought to the floor for consideration in the Republican-led House.
