Wednesday Cloture Vote Set For DREAM Act Amnesty Bill (October 23) Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed to invoke cloture on S. 2205, Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty bill. The cloture vote, for which 60 YES votes are necessary to prevent a filibuster on the measure, is set for Wednesday, October 24. Reid is attempting to bring this nightmarish amnesty bill to the floor under Senate Rule XIV without it ever having been debated in committee... Click here for more background on the DREAM Act.

It is imperative that NumbersUSA members call their senators today to ask them to vote NO on cloture for S. 2205.

Call your senators today to ask them to oppose the DREAM Act: 202-224-3121.

The Rest of the Senate

I have been bumping these posts today to try to keep them visible. I found the following on the Dream Act Portal:

( WASHINGTON, D.C. ) – Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today released a statement regarding an event Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) reportedly plans to hold in conjunction with discussion of the DREAM ACT – an event that will be attended by several illegal aliens.

“I call on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to detain any illegal aliens at this press conference. Just because these illegal aliens are being used for political gain doesn’t mean they get immunity from the law.”

“If we can’t enforce our laws inside the building where American laws are made, where can we enforce them?”

Tancredo alerted the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency earlier today regarding Durbin’s 3:00 PM meeting.

"Shrillary Xlinton will vote Yea Schmuckie Chumer will vote Yea."

And President Bush will invite them to the bill signing. Remember, he promised to, "see you at the bill signing".

So, a US Senator is openly breaking the law in front of all America to see and he isn’t being removed as a traitor why? Does he and his kind think they are kings and above the law?

It is just unbelievable isn’t it? But, no news here just move along. Seems that most on FR have given up. None of today’s posts regarding this issue have garnered much interest. :(

yeah. 2008 elections are important, but is may be too late then. This is like a bad DREAM. I thought we defeated this already, but it just keep getting back.

We need constitutional amendment to ban illegal immigration forever and making sure any illegal cannot ever get a citizenship.

I hope our presidential candidates are out there fighting against the bill. Mere press releases are not enough.
MSM will be silent on this, but perhaps Rush and Sean can talk about this.
