Breaking: House Passes "Dream Act"

[Skeez]

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

[Electric Graffiti]

The Communists had to pass Amnesty and Hellcare otherwise they would cease to exist as a party.

Mexico, a third world poverty crime-ridden sh!t hole of a country......COME ON DOWN!!!

We don't have enough of you illiterate criminal scumbag wetback beaners here to destroy America.....we need more.

[cripplecreek]

I’m not impressed with your “moderation”

[maxter]

It is our politicians, not our country, that we should be ashamed of. Stay strong.

[northwinds]

Nothing like giving them more rights than most American kids...This is about votes, not compassion and guess who they are going to vote for

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

[Comparative Advantage]

“Republicans” who voted YEA:
Cao
Castle
Diaz-Balart, L.
Diaz-Balart, M.
Djou
Ehlers
Inglis
Ros-Lehtinen

I don’t know Ehlers or much about Djou, but the rest are no surprise...actually expected. Why is Inglis so liberal on illegal immigration?

[Maverick68]

We’re not talking about “kids”...apparently you haven’t been paying attention

[ReverendJames]

Not the point. They’re ILLEGAL! What part of that don’t you understand? The 14th. Amendment dealt with Black slaves having kids in the free states. Nothing to do with illegals having kids in the US to become automatic citizens.

The same ones who vated for Obama?

[latina4dubya]

That's because the employers, and you, needed their services.

bs... how arrogant of you to lump everybody into this... no i have not needed their services...

[Windflier]

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?

I'm calling you out as a liberal infiltrator to this site. You said on another thread about the DREAM Act, that "the House did the right thing..."

You obviously don't understand the true gravity of this vote, or how the DREAM Act will open the door to millions upon millions of illegals being amnestied in the near future.

[ExSES]

Geez....worrying about a bunch of kids who came here when they were 2 (or 5, or 7, or 9)....

Read what the bill REALLY PROVIDES, not the pablum put out by the media! Do you believe in Santa Claus as well??? Hopefully the Senate will bury this monstrosity!

DREAM Act Passes 216-198

December 8th, 2010 by Karina

“Tonight, the House passed the DREAM Act by a vote of 216-198”:

[cripplecreek]

Same here. I mow my own lawn.

[Nea Wood]

You can claim your amnesty up until the age of 30 and you only have to be here for 5 yrs. so you are eligible if you came here when you were 25. Also all you have to do is enroll for 1 class!!!

Not only that, dear panthermom...all they have to do is CLAIM to have been here for five years, CLAIM to have enrolled in one class, CLAIM to have come here before age 16, or whatever. Who's going to check up on them? Who's going to prove whether they're lying or telling the truth? No one. That would be "insensitive" and "racist." They'll just be taken at their word! There will be a run for the border now as millions more try to get in on the gravy train!

[STARWISE]

Ros-Lehtinen

Now that’s surprising and disappointing.
She’s such an anti-Castro, pro Cuban
blockade advocate, I wouldn’t have
thought she’d do this.

Guess it’s in the blood .. dang.

[northwinds]

First you bitch and NOW you want to make their children citizens? You're not impressing anyone here. You're full of it..

I am not anymore happy when I see a deadbeat black or white family using food stamps....that doesn't mean I want their children's lives to be destroyed....if these "Dream Act" kids are bad apples then deport their arses...if not give them a chance...that's the American way.

[Windflier]

It has to go before the Senate, and it will be dead on arrival.

Please help the rest of us to understand why you feel so confident that this will not pass the Senate. A lot of us need a bit of reassurance at the moment.

[backwoods-engineer]

if these "Dream Act" kids are bad apples then deport their arses...if not give them a chance...that's the American way.

THEN THEY CAN GET IN BACK OF THE LINE FOR LEGAL IMMIGRATION! We have enough problems without MORE mouths to feed!

[The_Reader_David]

Your objection is why of cloture passes, the next thing the Senate GOP has to do is offer a floor amendment forbidding consideration of DREAM Act beneficiaries in the application of family-reunification immigration laws or regulations.

It might not work, but if such an amendment passes and makes it into the final bill, it renders it far less objectionable both legally and morally: a DREAM Act with a cut-off to prevent chain migration/legalization of its beneficiaries would really be about not visiting the crimes of parents on their children. As it is, it’s a stealth general amnesty. If it can’t be stopped by a filibuster in the Senate, at least we need to make the ‘Rats and RINOs go on record as wanting it to be a stealth general amnesty, by giving an alternative that does what they purport to want from the act without being a stealth general amnesty.

Such an amendment passing in the Senate might also scuttle the whole thing in conference.

[northwinds]

The same ones who vated for Obama?

If you don't understand that the Cubans in Dade County, Florida put 'W' into the White House then you are not a student of history....or even have a clue as to politics
