Breaking: House Passes "Dream Act"

[Skeez]

House passes immigration bill known as "Dream Act" 216 to 198

[dfwgator]

.who came here when they were 2 (or 4, or 6, etc) holding their momma's hand who are now 20 and just want a chance to become a regular person..

They can be a regular person in Meh-Hee-Co, maybe they could even help to improve the standard of living in that God-Forsaken country, with the education they obtained here.

[Crichton]

I don’t know Ehlers or much about Djou

Ehlers is a retiring 'moderate'. Djou was beaten in Nov but trying to keep his electoral future alive in Hawai'i.

Why is Inglis so liberal on illegal immigration?

Inglis stated that since his return to Congress he's been voting what he believes, thus moderate to liberal. Ever since he got crushed in the primary this year he's been hell-bent on embracing his inner socialist. He'll probably head up Republicans for Obama in 2012.

I guess you missed the fact that it was the Hispanic Cubans in Dade County, Florida that won the election for 'W'....LMAO.

I guess you agree with Bush when he wanted to create "a new America"? How is what Bush wanted to do any different than what Obama, Reid and Pelosi are trying to do?

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

You really like the abuse, don't you?

Because you CANNOT be serious with the cliched garbage you're posting.

10 % unemployment, a deficit in the trillions, a welfare state out of control, an exploding ethnic voting block that goes 60% democrat. I know - lets legalize 5 or 6 million more illegal mouths to feed. And their parents.

Really, I thought we ran all the open border ninnies & lawbreaking employers off this site.

I agree with you totally...so why don’t you just come out and say that you believe that the U.S. should be a White, Western Civilzation country and we will not have any more black, hispanic, or asian immigratiion....but don’t punish the kids that we let in when we needed Daddy’s labor.

[Comparative Advantage]

Ros-Lehtinen probably rates an “F” on immigration issues from a conservative perspective.

[little jeremiah]

You are disgusting for pulling the race card. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with “ILlegal”. Not legal. Breaking rules. And everything that follows after that. Illegals are allowed in because of leftist, globalist agendas.

It is ruinous and you are a cheerleader for this hateful crap.

[raybbr]

"Dane" is back....

[northwinds]

Really, I thought we ran all the open border ninnies & lawbreaking employers off this site.

its so sad to think that you really believe, deep down in your heart, that you never received any "services" or assistance from any of these kid's parents over the last twenty years.....that's funny, I don't care where you're from....LMAO.

[northwinds]

"Dane" is back....

Who the frick is "Dane" and what does he have to do with this discussion?

[LibLieSlayer]

If I owned this site... you would be removed from the membership.

[Maverick68]

You keep using the word “kids” in your defense of this legislation.
This means you are either stupid or a liar as any reading of the Bill will tell you it’s not about “kids”.
But I know you’re just playing a silly little game because your messiah obama is getting bloodied every day...have your fun.

[Crichton]

we have bigger problems....like China and the deficit...but that’s a little more complicated than hating on the Hispanic kids isn’t it?

Oooh, nice one:

So according to you, anyone who opposes the Dream Act hates Hispanic children.

Why don't you just cut to the chase and say conservatives are racist and hate children?

[cripplecreek]

but don’t punish the kids that we let in when we needed Daddy’s labor.

Speak for yourself boy. We didn't need daddy. When I was baling hay and picking rocks, none of my coworkers were illegals.

Dave Gibson:

DREAM Act has no limits on chain-migration...would mean citizenship for untold millions

November 22nd, 2010 2:29 am ET

Their DREAM Act...our nightmare

Under federal law, U.S. citizens as well as legal permanent residents can petition to bring their “immediate relatives” to this country. As such, those amnestied under the proposed DREAM Act will be able to lawfully bring family members to the U.S., with no limits as to the number of relatives who can then, legally enter this nation.

If and when this bill becomes law, the government estimates that 2.1 million illegal aliens will qualify for and receive green cards, at that point, their spouse and children (without age limit) can and will receive them as well.

Based on the federal government’s low estimate of those illegal aliens who will qualify for amnesty, and assuming each of those illegal aliens has at least four family members they either want to bring here from another nation, or to assist in legalizing those living in the U.S. illegally—the DREAM Act would translate into 10.5 million “new Americans.”

Remember, that is only based upon the government’s very conservative estimate, the truth is, no one knows exactly how many illegal aliens will qualify for amnesty under the proposed bill, although it is safe to assume that the actual number will be a great deal higher than what we are being told.

It should also be noted that while the DREAM Act is supposed to apply only to those who were brought to the U.S. illegally, as children--the legislation also allows for the White House to issue waivers for any and all regulations and qualifications, as the president sees fit.

In other words…under the DREAM Act, Obama can grant a so-called “pathway to citizenship” to every illegal alien in this country.

You're either a liberal infiltrator or ignorant as hell. We're not in the mood for games, northwinds. They will love you over at the DU. Slide on over there..

[darkwing104]

What right whatever you say. Keep clicking your heels you reach Kansas eventually...

[rep-always]

As a “hispanic kid” of Cuban origin, I came here legally with my parents.

I resent your comments. You and your liberal brethren can maintain all these illegal moochers, I will not.

Let them all go home and apply legally to re-enter the country. I want them all out of here. Back to where they “illegally” came from.

[skeeter]

Lessee - 90% republicans vote against this, nearly all democrats vote for it - liberals LOVE it because they know it'll lock them in electorally for the next several generations so they can continue raping wwhats left of the country - and you're laughing your ass off.

That makes you

a) a moron
b) a liberal minded ethnic tribalist
or c) a greedbag lawbreaking employer of illegal aliens.

I'm going with c).

[no-to-illegals]

"Dane" is back....

I would have to agree, raybbr.
This is a 'Dane' moment.
