(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is calling on Americans to 'rise
up' and express how important the DREAM Act is to them.

Reid made the comments at a conference on Wednesday in support of the
measure that would allow qualifying illegal aliens obtain legal residence
status.

"As was said yesterday in El Paso by the president, we need the people of
America to rise up and indicate to each of us how important this legislation
is," Reid said.

"I believe that the people in America need to understand that these young
men and women who want to be educated, who want to be able to serve the
military. It's good for everybody."

Senator Reid along with Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Dick Durbin
(D-Ill.) say the Senate will bring the Development, Relief and Education for
Alien Minors (DREAM) Act to the floor for a vote. The measure previously
failed to pass during the lame duck session of the last Congress when both
chambers were under Democratic control.

The bill would allow qualifying illegal aliens to obtain legal residence
status.

President Barack Obama addressed the previous failure of the DREAM Act and
called for it's future passage during his speech on immigration in El Paso,
Texas yesterday
