But still, let's not get too excited.

Reid and his cronies may revive debate during the lame-duck session.

As for the votes, all GOPs + Arkansas' 2 senators & Reid voted no.

What exactly does this bill do?

What exactly does this bill do?

The Dream Act? It grants amnesty to children who were brought to the US by their illegal-immigrant parents.

The qualifications inlcude that they must be from age 18-35 (yep) and have completed 2 years of college or have served in the military.

Of course, it also means 2-3 million+ more future voters for a certain party.

It's dead for now but there's the possibility of Reid attaching it to some other bill during the lame-duck session.

And the illegals get tax payer subsidized tuition benefits .

If these kids are not citizens of the US, then they are not subject to our jurisdiction, so that means they don't have to pay taxes.

That was the whole point behind the Edict of Caracalla (212 a.d.)

Regular commie utopian paradise on your dime .

 

[lester1/2jr]

you could oppose this simply on anti war principles as well. it's a terribe idea probably hatched at the AEI or some other hellhole

.

You also leave out the additional 5-10million+ that will get amnesty thru chain migration. Once '1' person is amnetized, they can petition to have their whole family amnestized!!!! Not many talked about this.... this was definetely a trojan backdoor virus.

I thought this was DADT ...

Here are the votes for anyone interested:

http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/r...ote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00238

It appears to have been 56-43 because MurCOWski didn't vote.

I have a very bad feeling that this may be attempted again during the lame-duck session.

I think the Senate was voting on both amendments or something because both the dream act and DADT are dead for now.
