Politics: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has hit a new low by slipping an amnesty plan for illegal immigrants into a defense funding bill. In effect, he's holding U.S. troops hostage to advance his own political career.
He sees a political payoff — for himself — by offering amnesty to the children of illegal immigrants via the DREAM Act in a bid to energize the Latino vote. . . . .
As representative of the state with the highest number of illegal immigrants as a percentage of the work force (as well as the highest unemployment rate at 14.2%), Reid is hoping he can break away from Republican challenger Sharron Angle in his own dead-heat reelection race by delivering amnesty to that constituency.
It says that any child of an illegal who arrives in the U.S. before age 16, spends five years here and completes two years of college or military service in a six-year span without felonies gets a green card ahead of others who have waited patiently for their papers.
They will have access to taxpayer-funded loans and grants, and may crowd out children of U.S. citizens at state and community colleges. They are not required to pay back the loans, learn English or maintain a decent GPA. They can start the process up to age 35, and get six years to finish a mere two years of college or military service.
And once they've been granted citizenship, they can bring all their relatives to the U.S. in what will be the mother of chain migrations.
Even worse, there's no cutoff date on when an illegal immigrant can begin the process . . . Mexican cartels that smuggle illegals for $10,000 a pop must be slavering at the possible new business. EXCERPT

Wet back, wet DREAM, what’s the diff?
Damn, I just don’t understand why his polling numbers are not below 10% with all of his antics! What kind of state would support this clown?
Time to ensure that Dingy is TOAST; send this to every talk show host there is and get the word to the American people. This should help sink even more RATs and RINOs. They ship is half sunk now.

Unfreakinbelievable. The rats have no shame.
Out and out bare faced treason.
Harry is in trouble. But there is a large Hispanic contingent here and he is pandering to it. How this happend in this state requires more time than I have tonight. Let's just say California is next door and too many have jumped that border.
Okay, thanks for the semi-explanation...heh.
When I say border jumpers from California I mean liberals who screwed up that state and moved on to escape the mess they made. Now they are making that mess here. They are like locusts.
Heh, actually, I understood more than you suppose... I know that both California and surrounding states have it hard as far as enforcement with liberal passivity, etc. As a Texan, I not only agree but sympathize. We are fighting the same problems. Only when the state goes broke might we be forced to open our eyes - it seems...

Hey, have a good evening and night... Nice talking to ya..
