Editorial
Board:
Can’t
we
get
this
one
thing
right?
"Under
the
measure,
known
as
the
Succeed
Act
and
co-sponsored
by
GOP
Sens.
Thom
Tillis
(N.C.)
and
James
Lankford
(Okla.),
dreamers
would
be
granted
what
amounts
to
a
15-year
pathway
to
citizenship,
during
which
they
would
be
required
to
graduate
from
college,
serve
in
the
military
or
maintain
steady
employment.
After
10
years,
they’d
be
eligible
for
permanent
legal
residence,
though
it
would
come
with
a
significant
asterisk:
Unlike
other
green-card
holders,
they
could
not
sponsor
foreign-born
relatives
for
entry
into
the
United
States. That
doesn’t
strike
us
as
too
high
a
price
to
settle
the
dreamers
issue
once
and
for
all..."
