Harry Reid's Illegal Alien Student Bailout


The High Cost of Cheap Labor Illegal Immigration and the Federal Budget


Washington (CNN) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week. The decision means the defense bill, which often passes with bipartisan support, will be home to two major, thorny political issues – the other being the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell"
policy.


Reid called the DREAM Act "really important" and said it should be passed because it provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military. DREAM is an
acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act.



"I know we can't do comprehensive immigration reform," Reid said at a news conference. "But those Republicans we had in the last Congress have left us." Many Hispanic voters are angry with Democratic leaders for not doing more to pass an immigration overhaul. The decision by Reid to add the DREAM Act now could help soothe that anger. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called Reid's decision "needlessly controversial." The Senate will need 60 votes to take up the bill next week, and Reid said Tuesday he doesn't know if he has enough votes.

  • This is such typical "Dingy Harry" dirty politics. I am SO FED UP with these damn politicians sneaking stuff into bills that have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the original bill. People like him and Pelosi COUNT ON on our supposed representatives in DC NOT reading the bills, so crap like this gets passed into law without our supposed "law makers" even knowing nothing about. And who gets to live with their trickery? Why We The People do.

    It is time to show this dirtbag the door with a dirty bootprint on the seat of his trousers.
  • This like everything the Commissar Reed does is not only Anti-American but wants to give these immigrants that can be and many are also Islamic Terrorist smuggled in to our country a smarmy way to get citizenship. Hide out for a couple of years in the Military. We know that these people are very patient and will take big advantage of this Progressive/Marxist Loop Hole.
  • I agree that any thing tacked on to a defense bill would be struck down as non essential to the health and welfare of the troops. Reid is lower than a whale turd at the bottom of the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.
    • defence bill, dream act.........it would be nice if everyone votes no.....won't look good.......DEMAND dream act to be taken out........reid is the lowest piece of s%#@, pelosi & obama are behind this...... AMERICANS we cannot wait till nov. the illegal in our W.H. must be taken down, CONGRESS this is your job, the more time he has, the worst its going to get....look what is being done to the LT. COL. when a court will not allow him to present anything cause it might be a
      EMBARRASSMENT?
      THE REASON: they all know he's an ILLEGAL president, and it would be trouble, trouble like we are not in enough trouble NOW....i really think i would fight now, then wait ....it will be bad, deaths etc, but i think its worth a good fight to get our lives on the right track. the army will back the U.S.A. they knows whats going on......thank you all for listening to me.....love you all, susanm
      GOD BLESS ALL, GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
      • I wouldn't bet too heavily on the Army or any of the military just now; the Army War College is accepting papers from students at mid-level officer ranks who are seeking to advance to higher ranks that are anti-Christian, and anti-American as VALID! Moreover ADM Mullen, and others seem to be in lockstep with their CIC on everything he's doing that's against the best interests of the US and our military as such. The lower level officers, younger men and women have never learned about the Constitution in school, as we older folks did, at all, so really don't know what it is they took that oath to. As a veteran, it pains me to say such things, but I honestly don't know if we dare trust in our own military just now. I fear it could get many of us killed to do so, should push come to shove in the US, as I expect it will before too much longer. Patience is wearing thin and frustration is mounting proportionally, with our present government.
        • Mullen is the sorriest excuse for CJCS that I have seen in my 52 years on this planet. Just utterly pathetic. A CJCS that thinks that gays should be allowed to be OPENLY GAY in our military tells me all I need to know about that scumbag.
          • Toss in that he's fully on board with the rest of Obama's agenda, and you have the REAL scum rising to the top of the pond! Makes me ashamed to admit I served in the same Navy, almost!
  • There are a lot of us here in Nevada that are working hard to remove this commie from office, If you don't live in Nevada and can't vote against him then please pray that the knuckle-heads that still support him would see the light.
    thanx and God bless,
  • Does ANYONE find it odd that there is NO OTHER COUNTRY complaining about, "immigration reform"?
    • That's because they are either overrun with them and are now powerless like France or Britian, or like Australia, are clamping down and actually DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT
