Reid adds controversial immigration measure to defense bill
Reid adds controversial immigration measure to defense bill
Posted: September 14th, 2010 05:55 PM ET
From CNN Congressional Producer Ted Barrett
Washington (CNN) - 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.
"I know we can't do comprehensive immigration reform," Reid said at a news conference. "But those Republicans we had in the last Congress have left us."
Many Hispanic voters are angry with Democratic leaders for not doing more to pass an immigration overhaul. The decision by Reid to add the DREAM Act now could help soothe that anger.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called Reid's decision "needlessly controversial."
The Senate will need 60 votes to take up the bill next week, and Reid said Tuesday he doesn't know if he has enough votes.

After a previous failed try with Durbin a couple of years ago Reid just doesn't get it.....Take care of struggling Americans which is your damn job Reid. The fact that you are attaching this bill to reward illegal aliens who violated our laws, borders, sovereignty as use stolen identities to take jobs from Americans and use our public services as a rider to the Defense Appropriations Bill is a slap in the face to those of us who fought, sacrificed and died protecting those values and continue to do so. Reid has elevated them to out level. Has he any shame? But I forget to have any requires a conscience which this corrupt horse's derrier does not have....
There is no freedom without the law. Remember our veterans whose sacrifices allow us to live in freedom.

Fill voicemails this evening. Thousands of illegal aliens have been given amnesty in recent weeks, as we have been told. Now there is the potential for millions of illegal aliens to be given amnesty, as family members would be granted pathway to citizenship through the illegal alien children, and older adults who fall into this Dream Act Plan.
The primaries and elections matter. We must reverse the tide of national destruction. Giving a vote to illegal aliens means nothing good for the United States. Allowing illegal aliens to have their children declared "citizens" has hurt us tremendously, as they vote against the very interests of the nation and the citizenry as a whole.
Jeremiah 29:11, it is written, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

YES, he is a SNAKE. And YES, he is up for REELECTION in November.
Reid tied both amnesty and full homosexual marriage rights to the funding of the United States military.
This cutthroat measure will help complete two of the largest liberal agendas in American history.
Essentially, unless amnesty and homosexual marriage rights are BOTH granted, our military WON'T BE FUNDED.

These recent actions that involve illegal aliens, actions that the White House, Homeland Security, and the Justice Department are undertaking, they are to provide amnesty in any manner that they can. They need the support of millions of illegal aliens and the unions and others that want them, to continue their plans.
