Orin Hatch On Dream Act

One audience member asked about the DREAM Act – specifically why Hatch ultimately voted against it when he was the one who originally drafted it.

The DREAM Act would have offered in-state college tuition and citizenship to the children of undocumented workers. Current political conversation is teeming with debate over several immigration reform bills.

"They made it into an amnesty bill. I can't support amnesty," Hatch said. "I don't think we're ever going to get this problem solved until we secure our borders. I hated to vote against it, because I really believe we should never hold it against the children of people who are undocumented."

He said government needs to give law enforcement the "teeth" to tighten border security. The revised DREAM Act was another "Democrat overreach" that expanded amnesty coverage.

What a load of Shit..

How did they make it into an amnesty bill? They made it much stricter than the one Hatch wrote. What a piece of crap.

full of bull shit- -

Sigh.

Welcome to Politics.

Cunning piece of shit. Hope he remembers this on his deathbed and regrets it.

Kind of insulting that you're implying some of us were not aware of the antics and political posturing that is all too common in our broken government.

Rather, we express discontent, desperation, and disbelief at the shameless audacity and aptness with which so many politicians, particularly those on the right, flat out lie to the American people.

One would think that the spreading of lies and misinformation, especially in the confines of our capitol, would be a punishable crime.

Indeed, lying to Congress is grounds for indictment. That is unless you are a congressman.

are u one of those ppl that takes absolutely everything literally?

Yeppp.

Dear Hatch,

Wait until your next life, when you become a non-white undocumented immigrant, burning in the hell of racism. You then will truly know what you have done to us.

Best, Love you long time Asian guy
