A day after President Barack Obama urged a vote this year on the DREAM Act as a “down payment” on broad immigration reform, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed Wednesday to move the immigration bill to the floor during the lame-duck session.

“I will move the DREAM Act as a standalone bill in the lame duck,” Reid wrote on his Twitter account. “It's good for the economy & Pentagon says good for natl security.”

On the campaign trail, the Nevada Democrat promised Hispanic supporters he would bring the stalled legislation to a vote after the Nov. 2 midterm election. The DREAM Act provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who complete two years of college or military service.

Senate Republicans blocked the legislation before the election when Reid and other Democrats tried to attach it as an amendment to the defense authorization bill.

On Tuesday, Obama met with Hispanic members of Congress, saying he would use his influence to get other senators on board. According to Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who attended the meeting, Obama said: “I will call the members and say I’m for comprehensive immigration reform … I’d like [the DREAM Act] as a down payment.”
