[Lemon:] Want to check your top stories. A seep has been detected in the Gulf of Mexico. A letter from national incident commander Thad Allen to Bp describes it as being a distance from the well. Allen also refers to undetermined anomalies at the well head. And it's not clear yet exactly what that means. But for now, BP's new containment cap continues to hold tight. No oil has spilled from the broken well for three days now. In Uganda, Interpol is using reconstructed photos to learn the identities of two suicide bombers. Authorities pieced together these images of the men they believed carried out a bombing in Kampala that killed 76 people last week. The blast hit a crowd that was watching the world cup final. An Islamist group took responsibility for the attacks saying it was retaliation for Uganda's support of the government.
[Crowd:] Happy birthday to you.
[Lemon:] The grandchildren of Nelson Mandela sang to the former president of South Africa on his 92nd birthday today. Mandela has spent 27 years in prison before leading his country out of the white minority rule of apartheid. The U.N. today also proclaimed this day as the first annual Nelson Mandela International Day. Vice President Joe Biden today commented on next year's planned U.S. troop withdrawals from Afghanistan when asked about a book that quotes him as saying a whole lot of people will be leaving the country by then. While Biden acknowledged the accuracy of the quote and then clarified what he was trying to say.
[Joe Biden, Vice President Of The United States:] There's going to be a drawdown of forces as we transition. There are 34 districts in Afghanistan. And the plan is, as we train up the Afghanis, we are going to begin in August, say, OK, now you got this province. We no longer have to have American or NATO forces in that province. There will be a transition. And really what I was responding to was the idea that the president has been out maneuvered. I was saying, make it clear. And so it wasn't so much numbers I meant. It could be as few as a couple thousand troops. It could be more. But there will be a transition.
[Lemon:] The vice president described the job of training Afghan troops to take over for U.S. forces as painfully slow and difficult. Tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants graduate from American high schools every year, and there is a new push to give them a shot at becoming U.S. citizens if they were brought here before they were 16. It's called the Dream Act. CNN's Kate Bolduan has the story.
[Kate Bolduan, Cnn National Correspondent:] It's a dream these young people are fighting to make a reality, becoming U.S. citizens.
[Unidentified Male:] To me, it's to keep going. To keep going with my life. To have a future.
[Unidentified Female:] I am undocumented student. I have been here since I was 6 years old.
[Unidentified Male:] In our hearts and our minds, we feel like we're American.
[Bolduan:] 24-year-old Matias Ramos, an undocumented immigrant and activist from across the country are gathering in Washington this week to put a new face on the fierce debate over immigration reform. [on camera]: Matias, why now? Why mobilize now? Why is this critical for you?
[Matias Ramos, Undocumented Immigrant:] Well, now is the time because, you know, we're headed into a summer where there's a lot of action on immigration. We're seeing a debate around immigration that really is framed all about gangs. It's all about criminals. And we've got to show the other side.
[Bolduan:] With little chance Congress will act on comprehensive immigration reform this year, a pared down measure targeted toward young illegal immigrants is being touted as the only proposal with any shot at winning enough support on Capitol Hill. [on camera]: The Dream Act, as it's called, would offer undocumented young people a way to become U.S. citizens with conditions, including they graduate from an American high school, have lived in the U.S. for at least five years and they must attend college or join the military.
[Ramos:] For thousands of people, the Dream Act is the only hope, that immediate hope of a bipartisan bill that is in Congress.
[Bolduan:] So how many people are we actually talking about here? The Non-Partisan Migration Policy Institute estimates that well, about 2 million people would be eligible under this legislation. Less than 40 percent, a little over 800,000, would actually obtain legal status. [voice-over]: Critics of the measure warn it's a slippery slope. BOB DANE, FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM That is a debate Ramos says they are ready for.
[Ramos:] This is about giving them an opportunity to prove that they are what this country needs.
[Bolduan:] Kate Bolduan, CNN, Washington.
