Thread: More proof that MD needs a new senator

When I wrote an email asking my senator to vote against the Dream Act I never mentioned the "color of skin", but Mikulski does in her response to my letter. Why? Is this an attempt to make ALL AMERICANS who are against the Dream Act or Amnesty look like racists?

Here is a copy of the letter I just received yesterday:

Dear Mrs.
Thanks for getting in touch with me regarding your opposition to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act (S. 729). It's good to hear from you.

I appreciate knowing of your opposition to the DREAM Act. I know you have thought a lot about this issue and I appreciate you sharing your views with me. Unfortunately, we don't agree on this legislation.

The bipartisan DREAM Act would allow immigrant students who are in an institution of higher education to qualify for financial aid. The proposal would not give these students in-state tuition or make them eligible for federal grants but would enable them to apply for private loans to finance their education. I believe that every student should have the freedom to achieve and that freedom should not be limited by the color of your skin or the size of your family's wallet. This bill would also give students who came to the United States as children and join the military or continue their education the opportunity to earn a path toward citizenship.

I want you to know that I believe our nation's immigration system is broken. We need comprehensive immigration reform that protects our borders, protects American jobs and rewards those who play by the rules. This means providing more resources to increase border security. It means tougher penalties on employers who hire illegal workers. I also don't believe that we should offer amnesty to illegal immigrants who are currently in the country.

Thanks again for getting in touch with me. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

i live in MD too and Mikulski is a whacko. she will do ANYTHING to protect illegal aliens in MD. i guarantee you come the 2010 session in january, she will fight to have the 2015 "amnesty" for illegals extended. mark my word. she is an illegal alien pandering fool. maryland is going downhill so fast, the beautiful city of annapolis is no longer a serene, waterfront community filled with naval academy alumni and white-collar business people....it is overrun with el salvadorian gangs, illegal aliens, and non-english speaking anchor babies. it really is a shame.
