Why should I pay for their social security, healthcare, food stamps, etc. I don’t want to learn Spanish, Arabic, and Persian. I could go on to great length. “Mindless troll”? - If you’d bother to read the bill you would find that Dave’s NIGHTMARE between the lines is actually correct. Maybe you should go preach to Mexico about their immigration policies. Go cross their border and apply for citizenship. They’ll give you a Dream Act for sure.... 22719@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:00:06 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2205.html#22718 “Actually, they can only sponsor immediate relatives.” Who’s going to determine their immediate relatives? - I guess we’ll just take their word for it right? In the 1986 Amnesty there were an estimated 700k that became citizens through fraud. And guess what that amnesty didn’t work and neither will the Dream Act. And if it passed, we could expect more amnesty bills. “Even if these kids were to become permanent residents, it would take years, and in some cases, decades for them to bring out family members here.” - The idea is they NEVER become citizens illegally. An “…enormous backlog…” - Yes of LEGAL immigrants.

I state this because I see some people claiming they can petition their third cousin twice removed. Also, do you realize how long the queue is? Check the Visa Bulletin and you will see the enormous backlog for the an immigrant visa. Even if these kids were to become permanent residents, it would take years, and in some cases, decades for them to bring out family members here. What does it then matter to you?

Nor do aliens have to join the Armed Forces: they need only go to work for the NOAA or Public Health Service for 2 years to get citizenship. Illegal aliens are not required to undergo security checks. Therefore, DHS can’t check for terrorists. This security failure is from pre-9/11 (it’s modeled on the fraud-prone 1986 amnesty). If the adjudicator were to volunteer such information to ICE, he could be fined $10K. Criminal aliens can file DREAM Act applications to halt or slow their deportations.... 22616@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 30 Oct 2007 08:20:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2205.html#22615 A NIGHTMARE between the lines: The amnestied "teens" will become anchors, paving the path to citizenship for millions of relatives. Plus every family in the world can decide after DREAM is passed to get their young teens into the country illegally. Applicants get to the front of the line and pay no fees. DHS gets no more personnel. The "new" Act removed the in-state college tuition section.

Once they let in a few million illegal alien under 29, they'll bring in a few million of their parents and siblings. Then they'll be eligble for your social security, your health care, your food stamps, etc. Many states already give in-state tuition to illegal aliens, so Durbin didn't take out anything. We need to stop the insentive for illegal aliens to come here. Passing a bad Dream Act sends the wrong message.

They swore aligence to Good King George before they would let them disembark. They did, all 15 of them.

That certainly wasn't the tone when there was talk of a draft. I for one support the Dream Act. I like it much more than all the other proposals we've had.
