More democrats pandering for new voters:

SILVER SPRING - Rep. Chris Van Hollen committed to fight for comprehensive immigration reform at a rally Thursday night, vowing to work toward amnesty to protect and keep immigrant families together.

“I pledge, yes, to fight to make sure that the comprehensive immigration reform bill that we enact will ensure family reunification,” said Van Hollen. “And also to make sure that as part of the immigration reform, we allow people to come out of the shadows as fully participating citizens.”

Any reform, Van Hollen said, should also include the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, also known as the DREAM Act, which would grant conditional residency status to undocumented high school graduates who are in “good moral character” and plan to finish college.

“The fundamental idea is ... that people have the opportunity to live the American dream,” Van Hollen said.

His commitment was appreciated by a cheering crowd — many of them hoping for more action from politicians.”

People have always had the "opportunity to live the American Dream". They can do it the same way millions of Immigrants have done it.

We have one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world. You follow the law, prove your commitment to THIS country, pass a minor history test, and a judge swears you in. That's it, you are a full blown American. The ONLY thing you can't do is run for President.

That's it, welcome to America, Mr and Mrs CITIZEN!!
