WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he wants to attach an amendment to a defense policy bill that would help young people in the United States illegally become legal U.S. residents.
The Nevada Democrat said at a Capitol news conference that the legislation known as the DREAM Act is long overdue. He would not say whether he has the votes for the amendment. The act would allow young people who attend college or join the military to become legal U.S. residents.

Is NV paying attention?
FYI everyone.
“The act would allow young people who attend college or join the military to become legal U.S. residents.”
Oh, I hope so. The votes aren’t there ... I hope he brings it up ... if he wasn’t dead before, he will be then.
There is a man I despise. But, thanks to Palin, he will be still Majority leader.
Don’t be so sure. There are always RINOs like George Voinovich and the Maine Girls ready to cast a yes vote.
Call your senators!
It’s too late for your “DREAM” voters to save your dingy ass, Dingy. You’re toast come November! Go Angle!!!
I’m sure “Senator” Castle would vote yes.
“Dont be so sure. There are always RINOs like George Voinovich and the Maine Girls ready to cast a yes vote.”
I don’t think so ... but yes, make the calls .. but I don’t think so ... not now. Tonight is seismic.
What an America-hating fungus.
so....they attend college (many on our dimes)....and THEN they get rewarded???? The military I can understand...attending college as criteria is ridiculous.
Voinovich is not running for re-election ever again so he doesn’t care about tonight.
Hiding Amnesty behind “The Troops.”
------------------------------
The act would allow ILLEGAL ALIENS who attend college or join the military to become legal U.S. residents.
Reid is a dispicable human being.
I thought the arrorgance was striking for someone that is going to lose his job in Nov. Sgyrt yonight all bets are off when it comes to conventional wisdom.
The arrogance of this Dum is breathtaking. Kick A Angle.
Would not make a dime of difference as he would be one of 51 GOP senators and you need 60 to pass anything.
Duma will sink to any level to get the illegals up to speed.
Unless it is a budget bill. Is this a Defense authorization bill?
Also included in this bill is the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, and billions of dollars in non defense expenditures (AKA Pork)
