The probable incoming speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said in a statement on Saturday that one of the first orders of business for the new Democratic majority in the House would be to pass a DREAM Act, putting millions of children of illegal aliens on a path to citizenship.
Pelosi was responding to a letter from House Democrats eager to get the DREAMers legalized as soon as possible.
"America draws strength from our long, proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. In the Majority, Democrats will work to reverse the Republicans' destructive anti-immigrant agenda," Pelosi said in a statement Saturday, responding to a letter sent Thursday by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "Our House Democratic Majority will once again pass the Dream Act to end the uncertainty and fear inflicted on patriotic young men and women across the country."
Lawmakers in the Caucus urged Pelosi – who is vying to secure her second spell as speaker of the House during the upcoming congressional session – to schedule votes on legislation to codify protections for recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and for immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) within the first 100 days of the 116th Congress.
"We will protect TPS recipients and those fleeing unimaginable violence," Pelosi added in her statement.
It's true. America has always drawn strength from immigrants – legal immigrants. As for illegal aliens, it's a debatable question whether overall they have been a plus or a minus for the country.

They can pass anything they want.
The Senate is where it stops......................
The Senate passed Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill that was a far wider amnesty.
It was the House that did not take it up because Eric Cantor got booted in a primary by Dave Brat and it scared the Bush League Republicans.
Plus this time they will have Romney.
They have the votes to pass this in the Senate.
Graham, Alexander, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, and plenty of other Bush League Republicans support amnesty.
Our only hope is a veto.
<<>>
I wouldn’t expect a veto on this.
What makes you think that?
Add Romney to Graham, Rubio, Alexander, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Kyl (who supported the 2006 & 2007 amnesty attempts), and how many other Bush League Republicans they need and they get 60 easily.
Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

Corrected.
No.
NEXT!
If President Trump does not get an end to birthright citizenship, end to chain migration, end to benefits for illegal aliens, reducing the number of legal immigrants and full funding for the wall for any amnesty, it won’t be a good deal for US.
What does that have to do with a proposed Dream act?
Yep ... and then onto democrat infrastructure spending.
They may well all be, but you know any bill passed by a Dem OR Rep House is not a ‘stand-alone’ bill.
It will be loaded down with all kinds of ‘pork’, if for nothing else, to show the ‘folks back home’ what a great job their guy is doing. The Senate will not go on a spending spree...................
Even IF it gets out of the senate Trump has the veto pen
Go ahead, waste your time with frivolous legislation, and investigations. You reap what you sow.
“Pelosi was responding to a letter from House Democrats eager to get the DREAMers legalized as soon as possible.”
The Truth slips out. “Dreamers” were a fraud perpetrated by the last president. Haven’t we been saying that all along?
Nancy’s Dream Act is to make everyone in the World a Dem Voter
Only this time we are getting the worst of the worst.
