Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is confirming what many opponents of amnesty for illegal aliens had long feared: Democrats will, at the very least, attempt to ram through the DREAM Act during the coming lameduck session.

Reid’s remarks will air Sunday on Univision in an interview with host Jorge Ramos. On Twitter, Ramos wrote, “Harry Reid told me that, win or lose, he will present again the Dream Act in the Senate after the elections.”

The Huffington Post confirmed Reid’s remark with a Democratic source, who said that the exact timeline hasn’t yet been worked out. The source noted that because the federal government is operating under a continuing resolution, the first order of business will likely be approving new funding, as well as approving a large number of Obama nominees who have been blocked by Republicans. But the source confirmed that Reid’s answer to Ramos on whether he will bring up the DREAM Act was an “unequivocal yes.”

A lameduck session, for those who don’t know, is what happens when legislators — many of whom may have been recently been voted out of office — return to pass legislation between the midterm election and change of power in January.

That’s worrisome because defeated Democrats, who may previously have been afraid to vote for the legislation out of political concern, may now be returning to spite their votes or otherwise vote for legislation they’ve long wanted to support but couldn’t over the objection of their constituents.

Basically it’s like what we’ve had so far but with defeated incumbents having even less concern for the opinions of the American people.

And you can bet amnesty lite won’t be the only thing Democrats will attempt to ram through in the lameduck session. You’ll have cap-and-trade, card-check, more government spending, maybe even an expansion of ObamaCare. They’ll do everything they can to pass special interest legislation that can’t be passed after next January.

How can we stop the lameduck? I guess we can shame enough non-defeated members into respecting the votes of their constituents. Although I doubt it. Respecting the will of constituents hasn’t been at the top of the list of concerns for the Democratic Party, in case you haven’t noticed.

Another potential blockage is the special elections. There are several nationwide, in which the winner can be seated before next January, even during the lameduck. As far as I know there are three in total: Delaware, Illinois, and West Virginia. The first is a tough get, the second looks to be happening, and the third is really doable.
