The bastards. They wonder why we hate our government, then do underhanded things like this, over and over.

I am not sure, but it sounds like Reid has slipped it into the CR.

According to this page from Congress there are NINE bills listed as the DREAM Act. Does anyone know how to read Congressese and tell us what the disposition of these bills is?

Let’s get one thing straight. These scum in D.C. are corrupt bastards. They care NOTHING for the little guy. who’s working his a$$ off to pay his taxes - direct or indirect. They will continue to ruin an already ruined nation because these “little people” allow it I doubt that they would do anything about it even if they saw their children starving to death. Do any of you see a change in Xmas this yr? Seems like many less parties, decorations or enthusiasm. It seems the fall of Rome.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at here. H.R.5281 was the bill that was voted on in the Senate today. The text you show in your post is from that bill and it’s dead.

I think this is the version of the Nightmare Act they voted on today: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00278

The bill numbers are both HR 5281.

I am no expert, but I think this may be correct:

“The Senate has dealt what almost certainly is a fatal blow to the DREAM Act for the 111th Congress.

Senate action in relation to the DREAM Act occurred on Saturday morning, December 18, 2010, when it failed to invoke cloture (thus, shutdown the debate) on a motion by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that the Senate concur in a House amendment to the Senate amendments to H.R. 5281, a measure that now constitutes the text of the House-passed version of the DREAM Act. The affirmative votes of 60 of the Senate’s 100 members were needed in order to invoke cloture on the measure. The Senate failed to do so by a vote of 55-41. Four senators did not vote, all of whom would have voted against invoking cloture had they been present. Unless a dramatic turnaround in the minds of a number of senators occurs in the next several days, the DREAM Act will die at the end of the 111th Congress”

If you read through the earlier posts on this site you will see they were 3 or 4 bills floating around at one time, but I think the only one that made it to the senate was the one referred to above.

I guess not—the hidden government - the behemoth of a bureaucracy that really runs our country will not give up the bidding of its masters.

Whole departments of the goverment need to be carved out and discarded into the dustbin of history ...soon before it’s too late.

They want to divide the country, they want a shooting war, pay attention to the language that the kenyan and others have been using to describe anyone that does not agree with their agenda.
