If you read the article in the following link you will find one of the amendments the Dems inserted (and had passed by voice vote) awards our "guest workers" with this...

"The second nasty surprise? Just before the committee approved the bill on the evening of March 27, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) offered the "DREAM Act" as an amendment. It passed on a voice vote.

The DREAM Act is a nightmare. It repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. The principle, of course, is that no illegal alien should be entitled to receive a taxpayer-subsidized benefit that out-of-state U.S. citizens can't get. But the committee's bill allows illegals to be treated better than those U.S. citizens on tuition."

I recall reading that article, and recall that little piece of work, er I mean legislation, buried on page 302 which would "replace the country's entire bench of experienced immigration judges with pro-immigration advocates", but I hadn't noticed that little bit about the DREAM Act, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I can't believe Durbin is still in office - we should've sent him to GITMO a long time ago.
