DREAM Act

From Michelle Malkin:   Senate DREAM Act cloture vote today, 4pm Eastern
Illegal aliens who qualify for the DREAM Act receive legal status for at least 10 years. They are immediately authorized to work in the United States potentially adding up to 2.1 million legal workers to the labor force that currently has 22 unemployed Americans. source


Ten Things You Need to Know About the DREAM Act                             

1. The DREAM Act Is NOT Limited to Children, And It Will Be Funded On the Backs Of Hard Working, Law-Abiding Americans


2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, Including Criminals, From Being Removed or Deported If They Simply Submit An Application
 
3. Certain Criminal Aliens Will Be Eligible For Amnesty Under The DREAM Act

4. Estimates Suggest That At Least 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens Will Be Eligible For the DREAM Act Amnesty. In Reality, We Have No Idea How Many Illegal Aliens Will Apply

5. Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits

6. The DREAM Act Does Not Require That An Illegal Alien Finish Any Type of Degree (Vocational, Two-Year, or Bachelor’s Degree) As A Condition of Amnesty

7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and There is ALREADY A Legal Process In Place For Illegal Aliens to Obtain U.S. Citizenship Through Military Service

8. Despite Their Current Illegal Status, DREAM Act Aliens Will Be Given All The Rights That Legal Immigrants Receive—Including The Legal Right To Sponsor Their Parents and Extended Family Members For Immigration

9. Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid

10. DHS Is Prohibited From Using the Information Provided By Illegal Aliens Whose DREAM Act Amnesty Applications Are Denied To Initiate Their Removal Proceedings or Investigate or Prosecute Fraud in the Application Process

DREAM Act. What a misnomer. This legislation is a nightmare!

MAKE--YOUR--VOICE--KNOWN--ON--THE--DREAM--ACT--TRAVESTY. TODAY 4.00 EST

MAKE YOUR EMERGENCY CALL TODAY. NOW! CALL YOUR SENATOR OR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE.

THIS IS ANOTHER LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE TAX AND SPEND.

Those taxpayers who have had enough, BOMBARD your Senators with your words and your Members of Congress to oppose the DREAM Act Amnesty -- 202-224-3121 NumbersUSA for details. NumbersUSA will inform you of the truth.

Majority Senate Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois predicts the Dream act will come up for a vote Wednesday. We cannot let Senator Reid and his demagogues lever this badly worded immigration bill in for a vote. With Senator Reid at the helm of his Liberal ship, he cannot be allowed to pass this law--as is? It will cause another Chain Migration avalanche of family members, who eventually will end up on the welfare rolls. This became predominant after first of sixth amnesties that began in 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli bill.

There is absolutely no question that in the coming years, student family members will become a further economic encumbrance on the middle class once --Chain Migration--is underway. Hundreds of thousands or even millions will enter America through Chain migration. Eventually the sponsor cannot or will not support the immediate family members. This burden will fall upon this nations public benefit system. Old sponsored family members will become sick and without the subsistence of the original sponsor will end up in the emergency county hospital. Hundreds of hospitals right now are overrun with newcomers on dialysis procedures, costing billions of dollars a year. Sisters entering America through the Chain migration in turn will have their own babies who will collect instant citizenship and the whole vicious cycle will never be closed, as our population will explode as with the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli bill.This nation cannot afford this monstrosity of a bill, in this fiscal period with America teetering on a 14 Trillion dollar edge of insolvency. This is not just about the US treasury, but almost every State the money reservoir are badly depleted from the illegal alien welfare programs.

California-the Sanctuary State—on the front line of illegal immigration has serious money problems. The illegal alien entitlement programs is rampant around this nation.

I am glad Mrs. Bachman has put her voice to this. Since the GOP has no sense let them get their voice and finger prints all over the thing.

The House passed it.

Of the 9 Republicans who voted for it, most were either lame ducks or retiring.

I guess they decided to leave with one big kick in the gut of our nation's future.

Hi Adrienne, this "dream" act is a freaking nightmare. We would be better off getting all kinds of free benefits if we snuck into mexico and swam back as illegals ourselves. I sure hope this is stopped, but probably not.

On a lighter note, thanks for your lovely comment on my latest blog post, it made my day, and I put a cute little video that's very JOYFUL, just for you!
God Bless and stay warm. Snows coming here again, yuk.
