Thread: Groups Make Late Push to Salvage Dream Act

Groups Make Late Push to Salvage Bill Aiding Illegal Immigrant Students By JULIA PRESTON
Published: November 30, 2010
Immigrant advocate groups have mobilized across the country in what they call a last-ditch effort to persuade Congress to pass a bill that would grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant students, pressing for action in the remaining weeks when Democrats control both houses of Congress.

The groups held marches, hunger strikes, prayer vigils and protests at lawmakers’ offices on Monday and Tuesday in support of the bill, which they call the Dream Act. Opponents are also in high gear, swamping some senators who have not disclosed their positions with faxes and phone calls.

A vote on the bill has not been scheduled, but Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, has said he could bring it up as early as this week. While its prospects do not look strong, both sides expect that any measure to legalize illegal immigrants would have far slimmer chances in Congress next year, when Republicans will have a majority in the House and increased strength in the Senate. “We see this as our best opportunity now to get something done,â€

An estimated 550,000 illegal immigrant students in California could be eligible for legal status under the bill, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group.

That is just California and they are claiming 2.1 million nationwide - someone is fudging numbers.

550,000 illegal students and let's say at least 550,000 illegal parents in California. Anyone want to know why California is broke? Anyone want to know why our colleges are so impacted and have to fight to get seats in needed classes?

WHAT BILL IS THIS IDIOT GOING TO ATTACH THIS BILL ONTO NOW THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AND ITS GOING TO TAKE MORE AMERICANS THAN US TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE. WHY IS IT THAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD ILLEGAL MEANS I DON'T CARE HOW OLD THEY WERE WHEN THEY CAME HERE, THEY ARE STILL ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THEY SURE DON'T DESERVE ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT.

The groups held marches, hunger strikes, prayer vigils and protests at lawmakers’ offices on Monday and Tuesday in support of the bill, which they call the Dream Act.

This is why the illegal aliens have been mopping the political floor with us for so many years! Faxes, phone calls, and e-mails usually don't possess the same level of power. We have to stand up en masse, stop caring about our own petty convenience, and get down & dirty.

It is utterly miraculous that the American People are still in this fight at all.

I know we don't have the lavish funding for food and transportation that the invasion lobby enjoys, but c'mon!

Senator Reid is fulfilling a promise from his recent re-election campaign by bringing up the student bill for a vote. His re-election victory came in large part from Latino votes.


Illegal immigrants were voting.

Rally the American Media against Amnesty, Please take action now!
