WASHINGTON – Today, the DREAM Act was blocked in the U.S. Senate – a motion to proceed to a full debate on the bill received 52 votes, but 60 were needed.

U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) released the following statement:


“The students this legislation would help love the United States, which might be the only home they’ve ever known – so they’ve followed the rules, worked hard in school and now they want to serve this country in the military or get a higher education,“ said Sen. Menendez. “They did not make the decision to enter this country in an undocumented fashion, their parents made that decision. We should not punish children for the sins of their parents. Those children that would qualify for the DREAM Act should be permitted to continue their pursuit of the American Dream.

“The opponents of this reasonable, bipartisan measure cried ‘amnesty’, as they always do. But this was not amnesty. No child would receive a free ticket to legalization. They would have had to meet a number of qualifications and jump through a series of significant hoops on their six-year path to legalization. And, along the way, they would receive the kind of education that would bolster the American workforce or they would serve the United States military, which badly needs highly-qualified, dedicated volunteers. If the United States Senate cannot even agree to move forward with legislation that is good for our children, good for our economy, and good for our military, I see no way that we will be able to move forward with immigration initiatives that benefit only the business community."

I will say it again, THEY ARE NOT OUR CHILDREN!

they need to go south of the border and breed until they have enough people to over throw the ruling elite... we have had enough; our hospitals are closing because of this mess

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Ain't gonna happen Menendez. Since these "children" (I've never seen a 30 y/o child!) are Nationals of other countries, they can certainly go to school there. We didn't bring these people in and it is NOT our responsibility to educate them.

Time to call the W-A-A-A-A-M-B-U-L-A-N-C-E!!!

Tuition and fees at public and private universities have risen this year at more than double the rate of inflation, with prices increasing faster at public institutions, the College Board said in reports released yesterday.

These increases in the cost of higher education continue to drive up the amount that students and families borrow, with the fastest growth in private loans, the reports found.

Tuition and other costs, not including room and board, rose on average to $6,185 at public four-year colleges this year, up 6.6 percent from last year, while tuition at private colleges hit $23,712, an increase of 6.3 percent. At public two-year institutions, average tuition and fees rose 4.2 percent to $2,361.

Last year, tuition and fees at public institutions rose 5.7 percent; at private ones, 6.3 percent and at public two-year institutions, 3.8 percent.

“The average price of college is continuing to rise more rapidly than the consumer price index, more rapidly than prices in the economy,â€
