Thread: Pro-Illegals Plan 'Dream Train' to Washington!

I saw this segment on Lou Dobbs last week, but couldn't find anything on this pro-illegal organization until today. How can we counter this? Note that our good friend Cardinal Mahoney supports them.

Below is the transcript from Lou Dobbs, followed by info from the website of Dreams Across America.

CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They call it the Dreamers' Train. Actually, there will be four trains carrying 100 'immigrants' to Washington, D.C., next month. Along the way, they plan to share their stories of success after they or their parents came to the United States, in some cases illegally.
REV. GIOVANNI BIZZOTTO, DREAMS ACROSS AMERICA: The Bible reminds us you shall treat a stranger, the migrants who resides with you, no differently than the natives born among you.

WIAN: Dreams Across America participants plan to lobby members of Congress, who are likely to still be debating the issue of illegal alien amnesty when the trains arrive in the nation's capital in mid- June.

MARIA ELENA DURAZO, L.A. COUNTY LABOR FEDERATION: We are not promoting any piece of legislation. We want all legislation to reflect the dreams of these men and women.

WIAN: Some of the Dreamer stories are already on the group's web site, including an interview with California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, the child of immigrant farm workers.

Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney is another supporter.

REP. DANA ROHRABACHER (R), CALIFORNIA: There is a tremendous degree of hypocrisy with these religious leaders who are standing up and portraying themselves as morally superior, because they are helping some illegal immigrants who are here in our society.

Well, who are they hurting by helping those illegals? No. 1, they're hurting the American people, whose jobs are being taken, but they're also hurting people who would like to come here legally and are obeying our laws and waiting to immigrant here legally.

WIAN: The Dreams across America web site also provides a link to the story of another son of immigrants, New Mexico governor and 2008 presidential candidate Bill Richardson.

However, a spokesman for Richardson's campaign says the governor is not associated with Dreams Across America.

WIAN: Perhaps a better name would be the Amnesty Train, because that's the goal of many Dreams Across America supporters. They're appearing more desperate as the so-called comprehensive immigration reform efforts stalls in Congress -- Lou.

DOBBS: So I guess we could call it the A Train. Is that right?

WIAN: Absolutely.

On June 13th, 100 'immigrants' will travel by train all across America to tell the stories of their American dream. You can follow them and their journeys.

What is the Dreams Across America Tour?

The Dreams Across America Tour is a nationwide journey via train that educates the public to dispel myths, give real facts, and shares personal stories about the need for just and humane immigration reform in this country.

In eight days (June 13th- 20th) via ten cities, the tour will bring together one hundred diverse individuals from throughout the country referred to as Dreamers. These Dreamers will share their compelling stories and reinforce what still holds true today – no matter our backgrounds, immigrant or native born, we all cherish the values that make this country prosper. However, only by working together to address our nation’s broken immigration laws, can we continue to achieve and live the American dream.

Dreamers from throughout the country will take their story to our Nation’s Capital. Major stops will include Los Angeles, San Antonio, Chicago, Miami, New York, and Boston. As the Dreamers embark on the journey, their stories and those of thousands of others will be prominently highlighted via our website, blogs, video, and earned media.

The tour is a physical expression by a hundred who represent thousands. The stories of those who travel on the train will be told on line, but most importantly, this launches a campaign to get America talking about immigration in one central location. Anyone can post their own immigration story, whether they are first or fourth generation, via You Tube. We seek stories from all sides of the discussion so that a real discussion can occur.

The Dreams Across America Tour will conclude in Washington, D.C. on June 19 and 20 where Dreamers from across the country will join hundreds of immigrant children and their families at an event organized by the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM). Dreamers will also have the opportunity to share their stories with Members of Congress so they may hear first-hand from their constituents about the human impact of our broken immigration system and the need for just immigration reform legislation that addresses the realities of our country, economy and immigrant families.

How about ICE waiting for the train as it comes into the depot!

Dreamers will also have the opportunity to share their stories with Members of Congress so they may hear first-hand from their constituents about the human impact of our broken immigration system and the need for just immigration reform legislation that addresses the realities of our country, economy and immigrant families.

Gee, I hope they take along a few million of their nightmare creations as well. Those stories need to be heard/told to our treasonous idiots in Congress as well. Then again maybe the family members of those murdered at the hands of illegals should meet them there in a counter demonstration.

Now, the Mainstream Media WILL cover this so-called 'Dream Train' like the Macy's Parade.

No MLK didn't have illegals on the brian when he said he had a dream!

That's right!!

So if this is the Dreamer group, are they now going to try and say that the current raids are haunting their dreams and causing them mental trauma?

It wouldn't surprise me if WE are footing the bill, via our taxes that are being sent to LaRaza.

I can almost hear this song in the distance....

Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
O Lord, kumbaya
Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya
O Lord, kumbaya


Of course, they'll be using the Press-2 Spanish version, though.

We need ICE wanting at the station to turn this dream train into a nightmare.

The more I think about it, I think the family members of murder and drunk driving victims of illegals might have the most impact. The MSM ignores these stories. It's time for the nation to wake up to the REAL tragedies of this illegal invasion.
