Lies the press has told you about the DREAM Act

Congress, under the Democratic leadership of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, will try once again to pass the DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act) during their lame duck session, before the Christmas recess.

The DREAM Act would grant citizenship to adult illegal aliens who came to this country as minors if they attend college or join the military. It was first proposed in 2001, and has had the support of most Democrats as well as that of liberal Republicans.

However, what the press never reports is the fact that the House version of the bill would grant citizenship to qualifying illegal aliens up to the age of 35, and the Senate version has no age limit whatsoever.

Take for example this line which appeared in an article explaining the DREAM Act in the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday: “Roughly 800,000 teens and young adults would be eligible, according to immigration rights groups.â€

You rarely hear mentioned that the Dream Act allows the sponsorship for the illegal alien family members. Millions of people - A big amnesty.
