News reports say the passage of Amnesty Two (the DREAM ACT) to extort US taxpayers to fund the educations of illegal immigrants.........is dead, for now.
Senate action on the DREAM Act, to grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, faded Tuesday as the measure's chief Senate sponsor acknowledged he was having difficulty surmounting Republican opposition, news reports said.
Sen. Dick Durbin, Democrat-Ill, has been seeking to attach the DREAM Act to the US defense authorization bill pending in the Senate. But in an interview Tuesday, he said the DREAM Act isn't among the items on the table as Republican and Democratic leaders discuss ways to quickly wrap up debate on the defense bill. "We haven't given up completely, but the options on this bill are limited,'' Durbin said.
Immigrant-rights advocates were dismayed by the setback but vowed to find other means to pass the legislation, which they have sought since 2001. "There is no question that this issue doesn't stop here," said Cecilia Muñoz, senior vice president of the National Council of La Raza. "The longer we wait, the more talented young people we close the door of opportunity to."
Josh Bernstein, federal policy director for the National Immigration Law Center, predicted DREAM Act supporters eventually will prevail. "The politics is right and the commitment is there," Bernstein said. "We're not giving up."
==============================================
FREEPER ACTION NOW: Call your Congressmen and Senators----demand lawmakers request a GAO report that tallies all of the tax dollars going to illegal immigrants, their advocates, their lobbyists, and other organizations working to change US laws for illegals.
The GAO funding totals should include:
Congressional appropriations
Individual Congressional earmarks (latino lawmakers may be earmarking secretly),
Handouts from US govt agencies (Depts of Education, Labor, etc, etc, etc.)
We demand to know exactly how much US taxpayers are being extorted (without our knowlege or consent) to fund illegals' activities.

No question-—get your request in ASAP. Thanks.
I thought it was illegal to provide federal funds for these type of activities.
Why would you think that? There are all kinds of advocacy groups that get federal taxpayer support.
Merely an impression that federal funding would not be allowed to groups that promote hate and criminal activity, and also that La Raza activity has maybe violated some hate-crime laws.
There are all kinds of HATEFUL, BORDERLINE CRIMINAL advocacy groups that get federal taxpayer support.
