Thread: Bilbray: Consider this before voting for DREAM Act

Something to consider before casting a vote for the DREAM Act (Rep. Brian Bilbray)

The recent murders of 72 migrant workers in northern Mexico highlight one of the main immigration issues in the United States: before we see a peaceful and secure border, our southern neighbor must get control over the violent cartels that plague the entire country. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, more than 4,500 people have been murdered--just along the border--since 1998.
These 72 migrant workers were looking to make a better life for themselves on the promise of illegal jobs from unscrupulous employers and a promise of amnesty from unscrupulous politicians.

Something else to consider for Republicans is that illegal aliens turned voters will not vote Republican. That is unless it is a crafty RINO Republican. Hopefully most of those will be gone soon, with the elections.
