Cantor Endorses Foundation Of DREAM Act House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said on Tuesday "A good place to start is with the kids," he said of immigration reform during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute. "One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents. It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this country as children and who know no other home."
