STATEMENT ON DREAM ACT
First and foremost, I believe it is wrong to punish innocent children for the crimes of their parents. This bill would ONLY have applied to children who were brought here at least five years ago by adults, children who were under the age of 16 at the time and had no choice. These are not children who made a decision to break the law. These children were simply the victims of adults who were law breakers.

My faith played a big role in my decision. Ezekiel 18:20 reads: “The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.”

Unlike the last time this legislation was considered, this bill was much more narrow in scope. The children that would have been allowed to stay in this country are those who have already been here for five years at the time the legislation is enacted. If someone illegally came to America after this bill was already enacted, they would not be eligible. In other words, this bill cannot be a magnet for future illegal immigration.

Lastly, these children must meet very strict criteria, such as proving themselves of good character during their time in the United States and during 10 total years of conditional residency, which can be readily revoked at any time. The application process also included other rigorous requirements including health examinations, background checks, and the completion of two years of college education or military service. I know many of the young people that would have been impacted by the legislation would love an opportunity to serve this country in the world’s finest military.

Too bad she will probably lose her re-election.

I would be careful to conclude ^^^ above mentioned. Minorities will notice her courage and principal also most importantly her stance on why she voted for cloture, it is a very rational approach. We would wait and see but I strongly belief that Dream is not the "end all be all" of her career.

I applaud McCaskill for what she did. She has more balls than people like McCain and Hatch.

just because its big and technologically advanced; it don't mean it can win wars.

Lets get one thing clear. On this vote, the Republicans who were suppose to help did help. 5 democrats is what cost us the Dream. I'm all for keeping the faith and all, but I know for sure that nothing in regards to immigration is going to get done in the next for years. We couldn't count on the Senate before, we cannot now.

If they bring the Draft again, you would see a mass exodus to canada like Bill Clinton and many others. I supported the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, but the gays and lesbians that enlisted after 93 knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Those who went on to the Air Force Academy, West Point and Naval Academy also knew about the DADT policy. They had a choice. The thousands if not millions of kids that were brought here didn't have a choice.

I have seen everyone from the Numbers USA and the Tea Party go after her since the vote on the Dream Act they are going to throw everything to get her out of the senate for this vote. Missouri is a conservative state with a democratic senator these are the one's that when they lose it will hurt.
