The Senate May Vote on DREAM Act Amnesty Bill in the Coming Days!
JBS.org ^ | 10-16-07 | JBS Staff

Posted on 10/16/2007 4:32:03 PM PDT by Politicalmom

The Senate is once again trying to pass the much-opposed DREAM Act of 2007. Earlier this year [0] the DREAM Act (a scaled-down approach to amnesty) was added to the defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585) for Fiscal 2008 as an amendment but never reached a floor vote. Eventually the DREAM Act was pulled from the bill, but supporters of the act warned that they would try and introduce it again.

That time has now come!

The DREAM Act will likely be offered as an amendment to the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations bill (H.R. 3043) and could be up for a vote as soon as today, or possibly tomorrow.

Time is of the essence! Call your Senators today and urge them to oppose any form of amnesty, including the DREAM Act.

If passed, the DREAM Act would allow children who illegally entered the United States before the age of 16 to remain in the U.S. and attend a college or university, taking advantage of government benefits. The DREAM Act would place hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants on a path toward citizenship, making this an amnesty program, though not called as such by name. Furthermore, the DREAM Act would impose heavy financial burdens on the states as they would be forced to grant in-state tuition benefits to illegal immigrants.

Congress should not be allowed to reintroduce the same legislation over and over again hoping for a better outcome. Grassroots activists have already stalled this amnesty program twice — once when it was introduced as a stand-alone bill (S. 774) and once as an amendment to the defense authorization bill.

These morons really want their approval rating in the minus category. Their arrogance is beyond anything seen in this country throughout our history. IMO, time to vote them all out in disgrace. Meanwhile, our ancestors are turning in their graves. Keep sending those calls and emails. Apparently, the entire Congress is deaf, blind, and totally stupid!

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.- Samuel Adams

sadly, they do get it... and they will keep doing it until they wear you out. You have a life... they only have an agenda.

Why should they care when they control the 'votes' of the dead and the illegal aliens?

This reminds me of annual donations to RNC. I think I'm donating 500,00 bushpesos this time.

Where is Fred "aspirations of citizenship for illegals" Thompson? Last time at least Romney came strongly against the amnesty.

RNC, READ MY LIPS: NO MORE DONATIONS IF YOU SUPPORT AMNESTY

If they continue this; they all will be out of a job. They think we can’t take them out of their jobs. We can and we will.

They may be out of a job either way. If they do what we want, their PAC money will dry up. Then they’ll lose the next election. If they continue voting for amnesty, we won’t vote for them, and they’ll lose. But the next generation of politicians will have all the votes they want, so long as amnesty does pass. So it will. Representation is long gone.
