Further to Marcus Epstein’s essay about the Dream Act subterfuge, A Certain Slant of Light has produced one of this blog’s trademark and invaluable compendiums of relevant and useful links on the subject:

It’s not that they — many members of the United States Senate — still don’t get it. They get it all right. Their collective hides still burn from getting their backsides singed this past June …But, after all, they wouldn’t be members of the august, perpetually preening Praetorian Guard and a do-nothing, abjectly unpopular Congress, if they weren’t hellbent on disregarding the wishes of the majority of American voters in favor of securing amnesty and taxpayer-subsidized windfalls for foreign nationals who have entered our country illegally or purposefully overstayed their visas…

In a nutshell, it’s a conspiracy of special interest groups and the senators who serve them, who are determined to launch and secure yet another amnesty/benefits windfall for the undocumented masses and, as always, at the expense of bona-fide, tapped-out, American citizens-taxpayers and their dependents…

Nicely done, ACSL. See this link for the entire article at "A Certain Slant of Light": http://acertainslantoflight.net/

Quote from Vdare:

Dick Durbin, who is responsible for tacking it on to the defense bill, justifies the action because the DREAM Act contains a provision that gives some illegals permanent legal status in exchange for military service. This fits with the ideals of many Invade The World/Invite The World neoconservatives like Max Boot who have called for an illegal alien legion.

I think they're doing it again. They want to do one little good thing, and end up leaving the whole garage door open and the front door unlocked. It's just like the H-1B. They wanted to cherry-pick a few of the world's genius level talent - and ended up importing hundreds of thousands (close to a million) of ordinary level workers. Our workers were rounded up and ordered to train them, then rewarded with pink slips. That was not the plan, but it happened. and I think there will be similar nasty surprises if the Dream act passes.

make those calls and faxes today. Our kids DO NOT deserve this.
