What is it going to take for force our congress to pass effective immigration reform?

IMO, I think the DREAM ACT is the only thig that would force our congress to pass effective immigration reform. I know republicans hate it, but that until it passes we are never going to have effective immigraton reform. The DREAM ACT has been going on for who knows how many years and it will never go away either IMO. Illegal immigrants are finding ways to skirt our system. So why not pass the DREAM ACT if effective immigration reform is a precursor to its passage.
