Quote:

Texas Senators John Cornyn and Kay Baily Hutchison voted against the bill and they explained why in the Houston Chronicle newspaper.
"I am sympathetic to the plight of children who have no moral culpability for being in this country illegally and I support the intent of the bill today, but not this legislation and not this way," Cornyn said in the newspaper.
"I could not support the Dream Act legislation brought before the Senate today because it expanded the scope of the bill beyond the intended individuals who were brought here as children and were educated in the United States," Hutchison said.

The Senators who voted against the bill but are onboard with the idea should be the ones to rewrite it. I think the idea of giving children who were brought here illegally a pathway to fix their status is something we need to do but I didn't like how this bill was written. Too many loopholes for my tastes.
