Immigration: Congress is expected to vote on the Dream Act on Wednesday, providing a path to citizenship to millions of illegal immigrant youth. It's a bad precedent that uses kids, costs taxpayers and invites new amnesties.
After years of failing to sell mass amnesty to voters, the open-borders lobby has turned to tugging at Americans' heartstrings, presenting treacly stories of illegal immigrants brought here as children who then bettered themselves here.
Somehow legalizing this group ahead of all the other people awaiting immigration visas legally is supposed to specially benefit all of us, even though the most obvious beneficiaries are the individuals themselves. But out of guilt, or because we "owe" them "justice," the case is being made for passing the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.
That act provides a path to citizenship for some 2.1 million illegals who have lived here continuously for five years, avoided felony convictions, came to the U.S. before they turned 16 and completed two years of college or U.S. military service within six years.
Now, in the lame-duck session of Congress, the open-borders lobby has lawmakers right where it wants them. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has filed Senate cloture to bring the Dream Act to a vote as soon as Wednesday, and the House may vote even sooner.
It's a scam, using children unethically to achieve an open-borders political agenda that opens the door to perverse incentives.

Yeah, libs have been using children as human shields in their war on America since LBJ. Maybe earlier.
I feel a sudden urge to verify the settings on the old Nikon.
I thought kiddie prawn was against the law?
I heard a guest on Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio show this morning.
He said that "poverty programs" are murdering our economy. The MSM masks the true cost of these give aways by breaking up each program into little bits, but never reporting on welfare spending in the whole.
To give an idea of how bad it is; he said for every dollar we spend on Social Security (which is a massive entitlement program), we spend 75 cents on welfare: housing, cash, food stamps, etc.
Under Obama, spending on welfare has gone up 40%.
Clinton and the GOP only "fixed" one welfare program back in the 90's (one program out of 70!) And THAT reform has expired, and gone back to its original give away spending!!!
When LBJ launched his "War on Poverty", the national illegitimacy rate was 4% (and it was 19% among blacks). The illegitimacy rate among blacks is now 70%.
I have come up with a new tag line to address this issue.
The illegals that crossed the border to have their kids in US soil, they are the ones that made kids pawns.

You can say that again!

(Bringing children to America without immigration documents is child abuse. Let's end it.)

Lets not forget the ladies!
Law Enforcement Officials Announce Large Scale Drug Bust LAKEWOOD, CA - MAY 21: Some of about 125 weapons confiscated during what the federal authorities say is the largest gang takedown in United States history are displayed at a press conference to announce the arrests of scores of alleged gang members and associates on federal racketeering and drug-trafficking charges on May 21, 2009 in the Los Angeles-area community of Lakewood, California. 147 people were indicted in the case involving racially motivated attacks on African-Americans and law enforcement officers. Operation Knockout is the latest of several investigations that found gangs engaged in race-based violence. Two years ago, a Latino gang was charged with waging a violent campaign to drive blacks out of a Los Angeles-area neighborhood that resulted in 20 homicides. Last year, another Latino gang was accused of targeting blacks and killing 14-year-old Cheryl Green, whose death became a community rallying point. In 2006, Avenues gang members Latinos were convicted of assaults and killings of blacks in the 1990s.
