The Dems must pass this or face some real problems in 2012. They are pulling out all the stops to get it passed. It is an amnesty for 3 million and a rolling one at that.

DREAM Act is $20 Billion Give-away to Illegal Aliens
FR Posted by epithermal

Washington D.C.- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) today issued the following statement after requesting the release of the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) scoring of the DREAM Act.

Press reports indicate that Senate Democrats may be blocking a release of the score to cover-up the true costs of the legislation to the public.

At least one published report suggests that CBO has scored the DREAM Act, legislation which rewards a defined class of illegal aliens with amnesty, as carrying a $20 billion cost. “There are reports that Senate Democrats are covering-up an analysis showing that granting illegal aliens amnesty under the DREAM Act will cost upwards of $20 billion,” said King.

“If these reports are true, Democrats are willfully misleading Members of Congress, and the American public, about the costs of their open-borders agenda in order to secure support for their controversial amnesty legislation.”

“Since Congress may vote on the DREAM Act as early as tomorrow, I have contacted CBO’s Director, Douglas Elmendorf, to request that he release the current scoring of the bill prior to Congress voting on the matter. "

"Democrats know that the American public will not tolerate the passage of a $20 billion giveaway program for illegal aliens, and Democrats should not be allowed to conceal a score they don’t like. "

"CBO has a responsibility to ensure that Members of Congress have the information they need to make an informed vote on the legislation, and should release their current analysis of the DREAM Act immediately.”

“There wouldn’t be any reason for anyone to vote against it because it wouldn’t cost anything.”

Be very afraid when a Dem says something like this. The selling point is that it's "free"??? Even if you believed this (and you shouldn't -- see Obamacare) this is a really stupid statement, even from a Dem.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

““I just feel strongly that American people with this election clearly expressed the view that amnesty — which this bill has by any definition of the word — should not be granted,” he said, “particularly not while we have lawlessness continuing at our borders.”

The Cartels have been very expensive to Mexicans. There is not a good reason to improt their civil war into our country.

There is no such thing as ANYTHING that Durbin & Reid support that is now or ever will be “REVENUE NEUTRAL”!!!!

Start with that premise & review all the information!!!

IF either Reid or Durbin or Pelosi or Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee of Rangle or Dingall or Max Baucus is involved-—look again at everything that you find on the topic!!
