Reid: ‘We Need The People Of America To Rise Up’ For Amnesty Bill Wednesday, May 11, 2011 By Eric Scheiner

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is calling on Americans to ‘rise up’ and let them know how important the DREAM Act is to them.

Reid made the comments at a confrenece on Wednesday in support of the measure that would allow qualifying illegal aliens to obtain legal residence status.

“As was said yesterday in El Paso by the president, we need the people of America to rise up and indicate to each of us how important this legislation is,” Reid said.

“I believe that the people in America need to understand that these young men and women who want to be educated, who want to be able to serve the military. It’s good for everybody.”

Senator Reid along with Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) say the Senate will bring the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act to the floor for a vote. The measure previously failed to pass during the lame duck session of the last congress when both chambers were under Democratic control.

The bill would allow qualifying illegal aliens to obtain legal residence status.

President Barack Obama addressed the previous failure of the DREAM Act and called for it’s future passage during his speech on immigration in El Paso, Texas yesterday.

there’s actually a better chance of the American people rising up to demand that they cancel the Super Bowl and replace it with an AKC dog show...

"We Need The People Of America To Rise Up"

Notice the clever turn of phrase.

"The people of America."

Not "The American people."

Citizens vs. non-citizens. Which group would be for this, and which would be against it?

Somewhat facetiously, which group is the larger voting bloc?

The House passed the Dream Act when they had the majority! Now they are going to try and push it through the Senate!

Will they succeed?

Well slap me silly! I didn't know that Mexico had neither a military nor schools and universities.

It's amazing the things you can learn on the Internet. And from Harry Reid no less!

Hey!

Dean Heller just replaced John Ensign, Pinky Reid stands alone here.

Dean knows that the ONLY acceptable “Immigration Reform” is to begin sincerely enforcing the CURRENT laws!

Dems are relying on voter fraud to get back in----Ohaha promised Nanzi she would be speaker again (gag).

PASS THE WORD----EVERY STATE SHOULD GET THIS GOING Repubs should send letters out to every person listed on the voter rolls asking for proof of citizenship. Those who do not provide it are deleted from the rolls.

Usually the Sec of State in each state handles voter irregularities.
