State Defeats and Student Violence Bodes Ill for Dream Act

The Dream Act Amnesty legislation in Washington, DC has become more likely to fail again this year after the Democrat dominated state legislatures in Colorado, Arkansas, and New Jersey have killed similar state legislation and Dream Act supporters resorted to violence and destruction on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill last week.

"A vast majority of Americans are against the Dream Act bills and is reflected in the that fact 40 states have rejected measures like in-state tuition for illegals," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "In-state tuition bills were recently defeated in New Jersey, Colorado, and Arkansas where Democrats hold massive majorities. Federal lawmakers are watching those states and are hesitant to override state decisions during this economic crisis."

The Dream Act also suffered a setback when Dream Act supporters mustered on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill last week, with the intention of shutting down a meeting, where retired Congressman Tom Tancredo was to speak against the Dream Act.

A national scandal erupted after Dream Act supporters physically confronted police, triggered fire alarms, disrupted the meeting with signs, and smashed out a window. The UNC Chancellor has launched investigations and apologized to Tancredo. Tancredo's views on the Dream Act represent the feelings of a majority of Americans according to several polls.

"The violence at UNC struck a terrible blow to the image Dream Act supporters were trying to present to Washington," said William Gheen. "Federal lawmakers are now less likely to support an agenda that protesters are trying to forward by attacking events and shutting down free speech."

After launching a very successful campaign to stop in-state tuition bills for illegal immigrants last month, ALIPAC is now launching a full national campaign to defeat the Dream Act Amnesty legislation in Washington. ALIPAC played a central role in the defeat of Dream Act and Comprehensive Amnesty bills in 2006 and 2007.

ALIPAC filmed and released the videos seen across America of Dream Act supporters using violence at UNC to attack free speech and those opposed to the Dream Act. For more information, please visit www.alipac.us

What is your evidence for that concern? We have been told by the committee leadership that the bill is going no where this year.

Please substantiate your comment in detail.

Just finished an article about the union attacking and threatening union members who did not concur with plans to go on strike. Takes me back to what my Dad went through in the 40's and 50's with the UAW-CIO. I also witnessed really bad things when the CWA went on strike against Bell Telephone when I worked there in the middle to late 50's! The unions are now encouraging illegals to join the union because they are more easily manipulated at strike time and they will work for much less money. They cannot complain too much or resist what the bosses tell them by the very nature of being illegal. Neither can they complain about the high union dues or any mistreatment they may suffer at the hands of union goons. Their pay may be high but the union confiscates it through high dues plus high fees if they refuse or are unable to walk the strike lines or anything else that the union requires of them. In spite of this, illegals membership in unions is rising. The upside for them is that the unions protect them in their jobs, and for them the amount of money, in the end
is sufficient.
