Congress is back in town and it's "Lame Duck" time - and up at the top of the list of left-over "things to do" for Obama and company is to pass the "DREAM Act".
And we have to stop them!
(Contact Congress and say NO!)
Put simply, the "DREAM Act", (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors), is nothing more than amnesty, pure and simple.
Here are some details:
1) It will NOT be limited to "children" - but put illegals in their 30's and 40's on a "path to citizenship".
2) It will put taxpayers on the hook for federal benefits to those covered, (including student loans and grants and instate tuitiion benefits).
3) It provides safe harbor for any alien - including criminals - from being deported if they simply submit an application.
4) Many criminal aliens, including gang members, deportation fugitives, and those guilty of voter fraud or marriage fraud, would be eligible for amnesty.
5) Over TWO MILLION illegals will be eligible for DREAM Act amnesty.
Even though many Americans may have thought electing a more conservative Congress would put an end to this garbage, Obama has said he wants this passed in the "Lame Duck Congress" as a "downpayment on comprehensive immigration reform".
