The late Ted Kennedy’s spirit must be laughing right now over the Republicans’ struggle with Dreamer legislation. Kennedy knew well of the political power of benefits for children. In 1997 he cleverly got federal children’s health insurance legislation passed (with Senator Orrin Hatch’s (R-UT) support). President Obama followed Kennedy’s example when he gave a waiver to illegal immigrant minor children, generally known as ‘Dreamers’ (an acronym from prior legislation). This waiver expires in six months.
Whatever Congress decides to do about the Dreamers, there will be winners and losers.
