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

That is what I say. At least he is pointing out what kind of law-breaking is going on in OUR buildings. I just wonder what it will take to move these people to represent the U.S. of A. and the legal citizens.

Bump! Already called my Senators. Of course, the call to Hatch was probably useless on this issue.

The co-sponsors are Lugar and Hagel and if it passes a republican president will sign it. Let’s be honest, this is a bipartisan effort to sell out the country.

You saw Harry Reid use Senatorial power to condemn a private citizen (Rush Limbaugh)

Harry has never I long as I can remember been accused of being intelligent.
You are not needed; Harry is trying to save you from yourself.
Just wrote Webb of Virginia and gave him permission to usurp my sovereignty

The Dream act already lives in NY state.

In state tuition for illegals is already law. Driver's licenses is up next

In an effort to humanize the issue of what happens to children of immigrants who came to the country illegally, Democrats plan to introduce Tam Tran, a 24-year old Vietnamese graduate student, Marie Gonzalez, a 21-year old Costa Rican college student, and Manuel Bartsch, a college sophomore from Germany. All three young adults, who will be introduced at an afternoon press briefing, have been in the United States for years, but their parents entered the country illegally.


Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Lugar (R-Ind.) and Sen. Hagel (R-Neb.) have invited Senators and their staffers to a meeting at 3 p.m. today to learn why they need to pass the DREAM Act amnesty on Wednesday.

Now they are going to try for a different tactic by saying that $$$ would only go to about 60,000 illegal (my word) students (seems they want to lie & make it seem Okay for even the 60,000. That is false they know that this would include many more not to mention it is an incentive to break our laws! Keep up the pressure. Jeez, you guys are good. Back to work I go.Will be home soon. Beat them like drums!

Illegal aliens should be deported. None should bet any aid that will cost the taxpayers.
