mexicanflagovermexican DREAM Act Returns: Call Your Senator

I posted about it last night, so this is more of a follow-up post. Bryan has the number for the Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121. It’s apparently coming up for a vote tomorrow morning, so it’s imperative that any noise to be made is made ASAP. It’s time to kill this thing again, folks. The Senate apparently still hasn’t heard us.

MORE: FAIR emails:

The DREAM Act will grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and help them pay college tuition at taxpayer expense. Please note that S.2205, unlike some versions of the bill, now has an age limit of 30. There is, however, NO CAP on the number of people who may receive amnesty under the DREAM Act. Moreover, to make even more people eligible for amnesty under the program, Homeland Security may waive the following offenses:

* Failure to show up in court;
* Obtaining visas by fraud;
* Alien smuggling;
* Document fraud;
* Violation of student visas;
* Marriage fraud;
* Falsely claiming citizenship;
* Voter fraud.

Once an illegal alien applies for legal status under the DREAM Act, he or she may not be removed—FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER—while the application is pending. Furthermore, the educational requirements in the bill are virtually meaningless as Homeland Security may waive the application of them if the alien can show “compelling circumstances for the inability to complete the requirements.” And, illegal aliens who obtain amnesty under this bill will likely become eligible for in-state tuition and for federal financial aid.

Our government at work…202-224-3121.
