Their DREAM Act...our nightmare
Under federal law, U.S. citizens as well as legal permanent residents can petition to bring their “immediate relatives” to this country. As such, those amnestied under the proposed DREAM Act will be able to lawfully bring family members to the U.S., with no limits as to the number of relatives who can then, legally enter this nation.
If and when this bill becomes law, the government estimates that 2.1 million illegal aliens will qualify for and receive green cards, at that point, their spouse and children (without age limit) can and will receive them as well.
Based on the federal government’s low estimate of those illegal aliens who will qualify for amnesty, and assuming each of those illegal aliens has at least four family members they either want to bring here from another nation, or to assist in legalizing those living in the U.S. illegally—the DREAM Act would translate into 10.5 million “new Americans.”
Remember, that is only based upon the government’s very conservative estimate, the truth is, no one knows exactly how many illegal aliens will qualify for amnesty under the proposed bill, although it is safe to assume that the actual number will be a great deal higher than what we are being told.
It should also be noted that while the DREAM Act is supposed to apply only to those who were brought to the U.S. illegally, as children--the legislation also allows for the White House to issue waivers for any and all regulations and qualifications, as the president sees fit.
In other words…under the DREAM Act, Obama can grant a so-called “pathway to citizenship” to every illegal alien in this country.
You're either a liberal infiltrator or ignorant as hell. We're not in the mood for games, northwinds. They will love you over at the DU. Slide on over there..

Omg. If this goes through, it’s game over.
Demographics is destiny. Within 20 years, these “new citizens” won’t want to follow some old document written by a bunch of WASPS.
If the 1965 Immigration Act were never passed ... today’s America would be entirely different! It would be the closest thing to an American paradise. Why?
The liberals would have aborted themselves out of existence or became a minority party as they just don’t have many kids if any ... while conservatives tend to have 2 or more kids.
It would have been Ronald Reagan days here on out. We would be building bases on the Moon and Mars.
