As early as today, Senator Harry Reid could revive the DREAM Act, which would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. The sad part is that Reid and his compadres have crafted this in a way that has gained little media attention, which means that he might actually get away with it. Millions of criminal aliens will be granted amnesty and the rest of the country won't even know about it.
The compromise is not surprisingly also supported by Sen. Ted Kennedy and Sen. Dick Durbin. Let's see what some of the provisions call for this time around: Conditional legal status for any illegal alien who claims to have arrived in the U.S. prior to age 16.
Any illegal alien can apply for the program. Those who gain legal status then can sponsor any family members, allowing additional millions to access the program.
There would be a ban on deportation for anyone who applies.
Illegals would be granted readily accepted into colleges and universities.
Do you see anything in there about border security? How about extra law enforcement to stabilize or secure our borders? Punishments for sanctuary cities? None. Nothing. And that's not the end of it. Illegals who apply for the DREAM Act can count their green card status toward the five years needed to attain citizenship ... lawful immigrants don't have this luxury. Why should we give this fast track to criminals? Oh ...by the way. Can you see any way we could prove that an illegal was not in this country before he turned 16?
This is a free pass ... a ploy for votes. Nothing less.
WTH, how often will they bring up this nonsense and in a secret way, the media 24/7 on the Calif. fires? Will we have to watch for amnesty to come up forever?
I just heard that Laura Ingraham started her show with it today. If the talk show hosts get enough email on the same subject, it will be on their show. IMO, they want the hot issues that their listeners are talking about. It’s called persistence and it does pay off. The Marxist/Liberals are trying to wear us down; a political game with these slimes that want to destroy us and our country.
Our troops are fighting the enemy abroad; we can fight the terrorists allies here at home.

This may be the straw that breaks the Demmies back as regards to 2008. Let them play it out. The hottest hot button among the electorate is immigration - not health care, Iraq, or any other nonsense. Let the Demmies position themselves squarely for more immigration and amnesty. These are really some dumb people.
The arrogance of these elitists that think of themselves as Royalty and who think of us as uneducated peons is reprehensible.

Reprehensible but not surprising. Especially since my 2 senators are Rats.
