How could republicans BLOCK it when there is still a majority in both houses....does it need more than a ‘majority’ of votes?
Or did they just block it from coming to a vote?
I wonder what “immigration rights” they are referring to?
Illegal, what a meaningless term any more.
So we have illegal non-citizens lobbying for legal changes, and our govt listens to them. Whereas they ignore citizens born and raised in this country.
tar and feathers baby
I don’t think a lot of people have sympathy for illegals right now!
“Illegal immigrant students say they will push for access to financial aid and drivers’ licenses in states like California.”
If California had even one testicle they’d deport anyone who tries either of these.
There is NO right of immigration. The school they attend should be closed down for incompetence...they clearly aren't educating their students. Defund the LA college now.
I think they should boycott America.
Leave now, and you can live.
How's that for a compromise?
I hear ‘movements’ can be kept alive via stool softeners...
Rights?
You ain't got no steenkin' rights. Unfortunately, illegal alien baby-deposits are allowed to be handed automatic U.S. Citizenship, which is a total crapload that was put in place to appease big-buck donors who hire the illegals at Mexican wage rates, then let them get their "benefits" from the Liberal jerks who let them have free hospital care, free food, free welfare, free educations, etc.
Go back where you came from and get in line, instead of surviving as the result of ILLEGAL ENTRY and law-breaking.
I wonder how many drive without a valid US driver's license? Why aren't they prosecuted for that? Anyone who is a legal US resident and does this would indeed face prosecution. How many of them use stolen Social Security numbers, again a crime for which legal US residents would be prosecuted.
It disgusts me to no end that so many politicians tolerate and encourage this behavior.
Senate REPUBLICANS blocked the legislation???? Three so-called republicans voted FOR the future creation of 40 million democrat voters!!! It was democrats, worried about the 2012 election, who killed the DREAM act. But don’t look for facts IN THE MEDIA.
If they demonstrate, they should be arrested and deported.
How about this, you little illegal brats? Say “thank you” for the free American education you got at taxpayers’ expense, realize how lucky you are, and then go back to your parents’ home country and use that education to help your own people.
You’re welcome.
These are college students. Why don’t they take their US taxpayer funded educations back to wherever ‘home’ is and change that country? Mexico, for instance, is rich in natural resources, so its Third World status can be due only to the way it’s been run historically. Change that!
We are told there are some 12-20 million illegals in the US now. Billions of dollars are sent back to other countries every year, so they obviously are doing ok. I don’t understand why they don’t try to make more countries like the one they (illegally) benefited from, instead of trying to change that country.
They can get all the financial aid and drivers' licenses they want if they will JUST GO BACK where they came from. Or enter our country legally and go through the established processes. If they're here illegally, they should get NOTHING but a ticket back to where they came from.
See: "Obama Pushes DREAM Act Immigration Reform for Lame-Duck Congress"
"The DREAM Act would apply to immigrants younger than 36 years old who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children under the supervision of their parents and have maintained "good moral character," among other requirements.
I have two words for these illegal immigrants, and they are not Happy Birthday. Let them come to my neighborhood. They will get the bum’s rush.
