The Senate May Vote on DREAM Act Amnesty Bill in the Coming Days!
By JBS Staff
Published: 2007-10-16 20:56 Email this page | printer friendly version

The Senate is once again trying to pass the much-opposed DREAM Act of 2007. Earlier this year the DREAM Act (a scaled-down approach to amnesty) was added to the defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585) for Fiscal 2008 as an amendment but never reached a floor vote. Eventually the DREAM Act was pulled from the bill, but supporters of the act warned that they would try and introduce it again.

That time has now come!

The DREAM Act will likely be offered as an amendment to the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations bill (H.R. 3043) and could be up for a vote as soon as today, or possibly tomorrow.

Time is of the essence! Call your Senators today and urge them to oppose any form of amnesty, including the DREAM Act.

If passed, the DREAM Act would allow children who illegally entered the United States before the age of 16 to remain in the U.S. and attend a college or university, taking advantage of government benefits. The DREAM Act would place hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants on a path toward citizenship, making this an amnesty program, though not called as such by name. Furthermore, the DREAM Act would impose heavy financial burdens on the states as they would be forced to grant in-state tuition benefits to illegal immigrants.

Congress should not be allowed to reintroduce the same legislation over and over again hoping for a better outcome. Grassroots activists have already stalled this amnesty program twice — once when it was introduced as a stand-alone bill (S. 774) and once as an amendment to the defense authorization bill.

Click here to contact your Senators and urge them to vote against this piecemeal approach to amnesty.

So what do you guys think? Does it have a chance of passing?

I know it's anti-immigration article, and I hate how they call it "amnesty" but, it's interesting to know that a vote will be coming possibly in the next couple of days.

Oops sorry. I guess I didn't look hard enough, my bad.
