Washington D.C.- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) today issued the following statement after writing the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to request the release of its current scoring of the DREAM Act. Press reports indicate that Senate Democrats may be blocking a release of the score to cover-up the true costs of the legislation to the public. At least one published report suggests that CBO has scored the DREAM Act, legislation which rewards a defined class of illegal aliens with amnesty, as carrying a $20 billion cost.
“There are reports that Senate Democrats are covering-up an analysis showing that granting illegal aliens amnesty under the DREAM Act will cost upwards of $20 billion,” said King. “If these reports are true, Democrats are willfully misleading Members of Congress, and the American public, about the costs of their open-borders agenda in order to secure support for their controversial amnesty legislation.”
“Since Congress may vote on the DREAM Act as early as tomorrow, I have contacted CBO’s Director, Douglas Elmendorf, to request that he release the current scoring of the bill prior to Congress voting on the matter. Democrats know that the American public will not tolerate the passage of a $20 billion giveaway program for illegal aliens, and Democrats should not be allowed to conceal a score they don’t like. CBO has a responsibility to ensure that Members of Congress have the information they need to make an informed vote on the legislation, and should release their current analysis of the DREAM Act immediately.”
man with the surplus we are running shouldn’t be a problem. sarc
I’m sure this will be all over the MSM today. (more /sarc)
We need to look at how Mexicans live on their side of the border. They basically sit back and expect their government to take care of them. That’s one reason for all the cartel murders on the border. The people have been beat down by their government to the point that they don’t have the will or ability to stand up for themselves. If they all come over to the United States, they will do the same thing. They will be used by the Democrats just as they are used by their government.
Mexican president Calderon and Ohaha.
Ping!
Everything these people do is about transfering money from those who work hard and honestly to those who vote democrat.
ha, we could send ‘em all home and make the border much more nearly impenetrable for a small fraction of that $20 billion, but the socialists and RINOs would rather continue the implosion of the our society and economy
King: Has CBO Scored DREAM Act as a $20 Billion Giveaway to Illegal Aliens?
“There are reports that Senate Democrats are covering-up an analysis showing that granting illegal aliens amnesty under the DREAM Act will cost upwards of $20 billion,” said King. “If these reports are true, Democrats are willfully misleading Members of Congress, and the American public, about the costs of their open-borders agenda in order to secure support for their controversial amnesty legislation.”
“Since Congress may vote on the DREAM Act as early as tomorrow, ..."
Can anyone put together 5 or 6 bullet points of exactly what this plan does and spends money on?
More here. They’re on version 5!
. No cap on the number of people who qualify.
. Provides exceptions to the under-35 age limit.
. Applies retroactively to anyone who first illegally entered the U.S. before age 16.
. The DREAM Act provides work permits to millions of illegal aliens at a time when > 15 million Americans can’t find a job.
. Will include criminal illegal aliens.
. Depends upon DHS to verify eligibility - we currently can’t process applications to enter US in an accurate and timely manner.
. Ignore the will of the people.
The greater concern is the massive chain migration that could result.
That is what King wants the Congressional Budget Office to do, but they haven’t yet (as far as I know).
Here are some of the better sites I have found that talk about the act:
Good grief. The Democrats lie, cheat and steal. I hope this theft fails.
