The following information was released by the Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF):

Proving, even in the midst of election season, that there's no depths to which Harry Reid will not sink, CNN reports:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week.

The decision means the defense bill, which often passes with bipartisan support, will be home to two major, thorny political issues - the other being the repeal of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy.

Reid called the DREAM Act really important and said it should be passed because it provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military. DREAM is an acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act.

So, let's get this straight: at a time when illegal immigration has become such an epidemic that portions of Arizona have basically ceded their sovereignty and at a time when federal entitlements are hemorrhaging out of control the Senate Majority Leader now wants to prioritize honor roll amnesty and a new entitlements for those who are here illegally (the DREAM Act allows illegal immigrants in American colleges to receive student loans and work study money)? And he's willing to hold funding the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan hostage to it?

The DREAM Act may be really important to Reid. To the rest of America, it looks really irrelevant and really destructive.

I really wish they would quit putting unrealted bills in other bills. This is cheating. We want to defend our country, but we do not want amnesty, so our reps compromise themselves. I wish we had ballsy reps that would only pass the defense bill if the amnesty part is omitted.
