Reid plans amnesty via DREAM Act in defense bill

September 14, 2010 17:57


Reid has announced he will add the Dream Act to the Defense Authorization bill. The Dream Act allows illegals to become legal by serving two years in the military or attending two years of college where they can learn how racist and oppressive America really is.

EXCERPTS:

‘Reid will offer the DREAM Act as an amendment next week to the Defense Department authorization bill – thrusting the thorny, contentious issue of immigration reform back into the spotlight as Democrats struggle to blunt a Republican surge ahead of the November midterm elections.’

‘But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Democrats would make the defense authorization bill “needlessly controversial” if they added the DREAM Act.’

‘“Senator Hatch doesn’t support cynical political stunts,” spokeswoman Antonia Ferrier said in a statement. “This defense bill shouldn’t be held hostage to unrelated measures that have no chance of becoming law. He believes we need to keep working to regain the American people’s trust by securing the borders.”‘

‘“I just don’t want anybody to think that if we somehow just do the DREAM Act, that that solves the problem,” Obama said. “We’ve got a bigger problem that we have to solve. We still need comprehensive immigration reform. The DREAM Act can be an important part of that, and, as I said, I’m a big supporter of that. But I also want to make sure that we don’t somehow give up on the bigger strategy.”’
