DREAM Act UPDATE - Vote on Wednesday
Was listening to C-Span2 this morning. Reid announced that he will file cloture on the Dream Act Monday Night. He expects the vote to occur on it sometime Wednesday. They have an impeachment trial for a judge to conduct which is scheduled for all day Tuesday and may run into Wednesday - but they do expect to do all the cloture amendment votes sometime Wednesday.
ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR WEDNESDAY TO STOP THE DREAM ACT.

I am so sick of having to play the roll of ICE and the American military on our own soil in order to protect our children from foreign invaders!
When are TPTB going to protect our children?
Why do I have to babysit our elected officials and beg them to enforce our immigration laws for the sake of our children!?
These pro-a path to citizenship politicians are a bunch of elite elected officials who live behind iron gates and play safely with their privately schooled children, while at our schools the parents have to stand guard at the bathrooms so their children can use the toilet and be kept safe from the freaking Latino gang bangers?!Ron Paul in 2011 "[...]no amnesty should be granted. Maybe a 'green card' with an asterisk should be issued[...]a much better option than deportation."

Reid on schedule: No Christmas work
By J. Taylor Rushing - 12/04/10 11:36 AM ET
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Saturday said Democrats plan to move forward next week on several votes including the DREAM act to establish U.S. citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
Speaking midway through a rare Saturday morning session on tax-cut votes, Reid said he will file procedural motions on Monday to set up cloture votes on Wednesday for an impeachment proceeding against a judge and various other procedural motions including the DREAM Act. Reid said he made the decision based on agreements with GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
Reid said after Wednesday, he is hopeful that an agreement between the White House and congressional leaders will be in place regarding the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, as well as a continuing resolution to keep funding the government. Reid said he also hoped to squeeze in votes on the START arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia, as well as a defense authorization measure that includes a repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the military.
Alluding to last year's Christmas Eve votes on the healthcare reform bill, Reid said he planned to adjourn the chamber on Friday, Dec. 17, for Christmas recess.
"We all know where we were last year on Christmas Eve," Reid said. "We don't want to be in the same place this Christmas Eve."

I wanted to add
If and I say IF they would invoke cloture on the dream act , that would only open it to debate and filibuster from the repubs , amends , and a whole lot more cans of worms , In the time left they wouldn't have a prayer of moving it , But thats just how I see it. Besides , it would still have to pass the house.
I"m being an optimist here but I watch how these idiots work
Also due to the calls from our many orgs and the American people , you might have some dems that will think twice
Keep in mind that 5 Dems , well 4 dems and an indy crossed over and voted today in the senate to dump the house tax bill ONLY extending tax breaks for some.
