Thread: DREAM lobby whinning about vote.

CONGRESS CAVES TO MINORITY OPPOSITION,
TEMPORARILY HALTS VOTE ON DREAM ACT

WASHINGTON, DC -- In a party-line vote today, the Senate failed to take up the Department of Defense authorization bill, which was the first hurdle in moving to a vote on the DREAM Act. This means that there will not be a vote on the DREAM Act this week. It is now unclear when the bill will come up. Below is a statement from Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center:

"Today, we witnessed an outrageous lack of leadership among Senate Republicans, who once again showed that politics ultimately trumps the will of the people. Rather than vote to allow for the Defense bill to move forward and bring the DREAM Act to the table, a minority of senators instead have chosen to quibble disingenuously over procedures. Ultimately, those in opposition voted not in favor of process, but against young immigrants who have shown more leadership than some of our elected officials. As a result, the dreams of the young men and women who have been waiting to fulfill their highest potential and contribute to America will continue to be on hold, and our country will suffer.

"DREAM students and their allies showed their true power. Under the inspiring leadership of Dreamers, we have made more than 100,000 calls, participated in 70 events in 26 states, and sent 90,000 faxes. Those in our ranks range from former Secretary of State Colin Powell to current U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Religious leaders have prayed for Congress to do the right thing.

"This battle may be over for this week, but we cannot walk away from the fight. Congress must not let the small but vocal minority thwart the will of 70 percent of Americans who believe in the DREAM Act. We applaud Senators Harry Reid and Dick Durbin for their leadership. As Sen. Reid stated on the floor today, 'We will vote on the DREAM Act -- the only question is when.' We hope Sen. Reid doesn't delay. Students can't wait any longer."

Today, we witnessed an outrageous lack of leadership among Senate Republicans, who once again showed that politics ultimately trumps the will of the people.

The American people did show their will. It is against the Dream Act. Democrats used politics. It failed for today.

Thank you LawEnforcer.

Psalm 92:1, it is written, It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High

The will of the majority of the people? You bet, that is exactly what happened today by shelving this bill. "Young immigrants"? Who would they be? These are illegal aliens, not young immigrants.

"small but vocal minority "

Really?

These dream idiots gave it their best shot and came up short again

if 70% were for it , it would have passed

These morons are delusional

"more than 100,000 calls, participated in 70 events in 26 states, and sent 90,000 faxes."

Not even close clowns

We kicked your butts now dummy up and get out of our country

They are not concerned about what We the People want, they are concerned about getting that illegal alien voting block to keep progressives in power. Smell the Desperation!

Univision anchors, Maria Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos whine about the death of the DREAM act, and start calling Republicans anti-hispanic.

The Dream Act died before it had a chance to live. Debate on Defense bill fell through. What a lost opportunity.

The Senate rejects the Dream Act. Republicans voted against it. The nightmare for thousands of students continue.

I think Latino voters will remember that Republicans voted against the Dream Act and for SB 1070 in Arizona.

Good , who needs this slobbering bunch of illegal supporters

There is that racist barb so typical of open borders and amnesty groups. Republicans are more anti-illegal immigration and Democrats are more pro-illegal immigration(amnesty) with entitlements.

The American people opposed to amnesty, including many hispanics, will remember who supports amnesty.

Typical fuzzy math coming from the left since 80% of America does NOT want amnesty of any kind!
