DREAM Update
Posted by Stephanie Valencia on December 05, 2010 at 11:55 AM EST
It’s been an incredibly busy week as we continue to work with our allies in Congress and across the country to try to get the DREAM Act across the finish line.
Here is a quick update. It looks like the House and Senate could take up the DREAM Act as early as this week. From the White House and Obama Administration we continue to do all we can, with everyone from the President to Cabinet and Senior officials working to highlight how important the DREAM Act is to our economy, our security, and our nation.
As you know, the DREAM Act is common-sense legislation drafted by both Republicans and Democrats that would give students who grew up in the United States a chance to contribute to our country’s well-being by serving in the U.S. armed forces or pursuing a higher education. Because it just makes sense, the DREAM Act has long enjoyed bipartisan support. It is limited, targeted legislation that will allow only the best and brightest young people to earn their legal status after a rigorous and lengthy process, and applies to those brought to the United States as minors through no fault of their own by their parents. These are young people who know no other home. Here is some of the work we have been doing:
•Secretary Duncan participated in a call with Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform about the DREAM Act and posted an oped in The Hill saying “Passing the DREAM Act will unleash the full potential of young people who live out values that all Americans cherish — a strong work ethic; service to others; and a deep loyalty to our country. It will also strengthen our military, bolster our global economic competitiveness and increase our educational standing in the world.â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

This is all bogus because nobody knows the real effects of this nightmare
Everyone of these traitors needs to be hauled up and ..................
They have moved the spin machine into overtime
Keep in mind , If they had the votes in the senate I think Harry would have tried to move it already , They are saying Wed but the repubs won't allow anything to move until 2 things are done first , and I don't see it getting done this coming week , If at all in this session

No budget
No decison on the tax cust
No decision on unemployment
But Congress has plenty of time to debate benefits to illegals."A Nation of sheep will beget a government of Wolves" -Edward R. Murrow
