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.

“I know he said he ‘fell’.....but he sure looks like he was punched.”

I wonder if that happens in gay bars very often?

......Ohaha's Texas suckup is fraught with hypocrisy b/c Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, and even constant harassment from multiple illegal alien lobbyists got them zilch......no amnesty crumbs.......not even DREAM Act freebies.

The facts on the table are that Americans are dead-set against all of it......there will be no reward at the end of the El Paso rainbow......

Omao sides with illegals b/c they are fellow comrades and America-haters. Omao loves that the invaders are building a Third World inside the US. Omao loves foreigners w/ no allegiance to American culture and mores. They all hold sacrosanct US laws in utter contempt.

You can bet that in the federally-funded enclaves of La Raza's secret cabal, the invaders are plotting the destruction of the US of A.....using our tax dollars.

People suckered in for the "here for a better life" scam should read this.

Why do the indigenous people of some small regions of Mexico and Guatemala have any claim on lands formerly belonging to the Penobscot or Choctaw or Sioux? I’d be willing to put the vote on amnesty and border enforcement to the US tribes before I’d trust Congress.

Hey Harry! I feel the same way about you as your 'illegal fan club' does about America.

For those rising up for amnesty, consider the consequences. They could be dire.

For once, I agree with Harry Ried…

“We need the people of America to rise up”…

At least about the first part. We need to rise up and defeat any notion of letting MORE people into this country when unemployment is 10%.
We need to rise up and defeat any notion that illegal aliens should be allowed to stay here.

“Round ‘em up, seize their assets, send them away, and hire some Americans.”

We need to rise up and call, fax, and email our Senators and Congressmen, and make sure they understand in no uncertain terms that we are opposed to any DREAM act or amnesty legislation, and we will not vote for those who are going down that road.

The way I see it, they’ve let so many thru our borders, and encouraged them to do so, that they figure they have enough people to “rise up” and “change” the poltical climate just by marching in the streets...get ready..they’re going to March...you can bet on it!

Then Ol Dirty Hairy will gloat that the throngs marching prove the “people” want amnesty. I think I’m going to join the throw-up crowd. Between Obama and Hairy my stomach has had more than it’s fill of poison these last couple days!

“I am still betting he can’t get 50 democratic senators.”

I agree with you. They reached their high water mark on government dictated HealthControl. There may well be an uprising, but it will go hard for Versailles on the Potomac if and when there is one.

In any other time in American history, Harry Reid would have been considered a traitor instead of being allowed to serve in the Senate. He is actively fomenting the destruction of American sovereignty.

Wow. What a coincidence. Obama is starting his re-election campaign, and the first order of business is pushing amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens residing in this country.
