DREAM Act for illegal immigrants? Dream on
November 28, 2010

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has obstinately defied the wishes of the American people by scheduling a vote on a controversial immigration bill during Congress' upcoming lame duck session. It takes hubris to try to ram through what conservative commentator David Frum calls "a massive unwinnable fight over amnesty for illegal aliens" through the same Congress that rejected it just two months ago.

The Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act would grant legal residency status to any illegal immigrants under 35 who were brought to the U.S. as children if they enroll in college or join the military. On the surface, this may appear to be a compassionate way to deal with youngsters whose parents broke the law, but Frum notes that the bill's provisions are fraught with peril to our national security.

Since the Department of Homeland Security would be forbidden from using any information in a DREAM Act application during deportation proceedings, the bill provides what Frum calls a "no-risk option" to halt any present removal attempts and taint all future efforts. It's also an insult to the intelligence of voters that a bill officially directed at minors provides retroactive benefits to illegal immigrants of any age who have merely completed some military service or taken prior college classes.

In return for legal residency and an estimated $44 billion in taxpayer-supported in-state tuition and federal student aid, DREAM applicants don't even have to earn a college degree or be honorably discharged from the military. Even before the bill's two-year requirement is up, all they have to do is claim "significant hardship" to quit college or leave the service, and then use their newfound status to sponsor members of their extended family -- ahead of foreigners waiting patiently for legal permission to enter the U.S.

A Gallup Poll released before Thanksgiving found that the top lame duck priority of 50 percent of Americans is extension of the Bush tax cuts, compared to just 31 percent who want Congress to take up DREAM legislation. But Reid has only scheduled a vote on DREAM even though Americans have repeatedly told Congress to seal the borders first and not reward illegal immigrants for breaking the law.

The DREAM Act fails on both counts, and any member of Congress who votes for it will get an "F" for failing the voters' trust.

Americans just need to say "NO" to the world!

I'm absolutely dumbfounded that our government is working against the will of the American peoplel - healthcare act, food act, no budget, no extension of the tax cuts, and the list goes on and on. But plenty of time to lecture us on the benefits of extending citizenship to illegals. I think it's all part of Obama's plan for a one world government - everyone at poverty level.

Let's vote all the Democrats out. They all support amnesty for illegal aliens. Illegals must be deported with the Demos.

On the surface, this may appear to be a compassionate way to deal with youngsters whose parents broke the law, but Frum notes that the bill's provisions are fraught with peril to our national security.

Of course the bill is "fraught with peril to our national security!" LOOK who's pushing it! Traitors like reid, in positions of power, are dangers to our national security!

They're the criminals and we're the prisoners being held hostage for what little we have left. There's 300m Americans and the world has not seen the likes of us for along time. They think they hate us now wait till January!

DREAM ACT VOTE TODAY, PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW!
