Dream Act immigration reform bill to be put to US Congress this week Democrats hope the bill, which will offer path to citizenship to 2m illegal immigrants, will win over Latinos before mid-term elections
The US Congress is poised to vote this week on a bill that offers more than 2 million young illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, a move that will re-open the toxic debate on the issue ahead of the November mid-term elections.

The vote could come as early as tomorrow.

The bill is being introduced by the Democratic Senate leader, Harry Reid, and is facing widespread opposition from Republicans.

The Democratic party sees it as a no-lose situation. If the Republicans vote against, the Democrats hope this will cement their position as the party of the Latinos.

A Republican senator, John Cornyn, accused the Democrats of being "cynical and transparently political" rather than interested in genuine immigration reform.

The bill would allow young illegal immigrants to become citizens if they have completed a university or college education or served two years in the military.

Obama, responding to anger from Latino leaders this month at his failure to deliver on his pledge, urged them to get out and vote in November, and portrayed the Democrats as their friends and the Republicans as their enemies. He told Latinos not to forget "who is standing with you, and who is standing against you".

The Pentagon, struggling to maintain levels of recruitment in the face of troop demands in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, is among the backers of the bill.

In a tactical device by the Democrats, the bill has been tacked on to legislation approving defence spending for next year, making it harder for the Republicans to obstruct it. If the defence spending approval is held up the Pentagon will have to seek emergency funding elsewhere.

The bill is labelled the Dream Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) and insists that would-be students are of good moral character, came to the US before the age of 16, obtained a degree from an institute of higher education or "served in the uniformed services for at least two years and, if discharged, received an honourable discharge".

Supporters of the bill say that young people should not be penalised for the behaviour of their parents in entering the US illegally.

But opponents say it rewards lawbreakers. Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which opposes the bill, said: "At a time when our country is at war and our troops are fighting and dying in Afghanistan, the use of a bill to authorise funding for our military to benefit illegal aliens exemplifies why the American public has grown contemptuous of the way today's Washington operates."

Comment by 7R33SandR0P3S on September 24, 2010 at 1:45am: Joe, it goes way back..............
I voted for Chuck Baldwin

Comment by Joe Anybody on September 23, 2010 at 9:00pm: Just curious 7R33SandR0P3S ...was your country being "hijacked" when Bush was in office destroying everything?

I myself, tend to lean more the socialist / anarchist direction and *know this capitalist government Is Ripping Us All Off.....but I was wondering if your opinion on the government was tailored more to Democrats, or Obama? (I voted for Nader cause I knew the 2-party good ol boy system was corrupt)

And (please) you don't have to apologize for thinking I'm confused.
But I am slightly confused as to why you are getting confused that "I am confused"?
... so in that respect, I'm just a tiny bit confused with your inquiry.

Comment by Marklar on September 22, 2010 at 6:12pm: You make quite a number of valid points Joe but none of those points address what I was saying which was quite straight forward, accurate and not misleading at all. By changing the subject a dozen times in regards to what I wrote you are being incredibly misleading in the mode of the "straw man attack". Pretty lame and transparent.

Next time try debating what I said instead of argueing with the voices in your head, thanks.

Comment by 7R33SandR0P3S on September 22, 2010 at 2:43pm: Joe, Oh well, sorry that you remain confused. So, we should tolerate the poor gang member who spray paints people's property with turf tags, like a dog pisses to mark out a territory, - his choice to act like a heathen. Yeah, let's blame his behavior on something other than himself.
My country IS my country but my country's government has been hijacked.
That government is a gang of crooks owned by the world banksters.
Illegal Aliens = IllegalAliens
Rogue Government = Rogue Government
Illegal Aliens are being used as a tool by the Rogue Government.
Now I probably have you really confused.

Comment by Joe Anybody on September 22, 2010 at 2:21pm: Ok Tara thanks .... for the update.. I find it somewhat odd that she did say "me first" then claimed she never said it (?) ...Oh well ...I am not out here to "call people names, nor hurt their feelings" I just called her on claiming the "me first attitude" was wrong in 'my opinion' ...

Comment by Joe Anybody on September 22, 2010 at 2:18pm: Well "7R33SandR0P3S" (recent post to me says "I hope that helps") ....not really? ..Im now more confused... Beside the fact that the USA is running this *world wide WAR on Drugs and it has completely failed. (and it is a total fail) ...Well it has been super great for the "private prison industries" the police drug its, the DEA, etc..,

The USA has 75% of its prisoner's in for Drug Crimes ...And we have more of our own citizens in our prisons then anywhere in the world!!! ...And we also have the Military in Latin America, and all over the world with this FAILED policy WAR on Drugs and all our military equipment ... heck the criminals are making bank, people are lined up and stacked in prisons, and the shoot outs (like you mention) are ramping up ...this is not an immigration problem.... this is a "failed USA drug war problem" ...take the underground business out of the equation and the killings will have to stop.... but blaming the poor that want to travel to get a better life is a quick fix, throw is some media propaganda...and next thing ya know ... Go after the guy with no papers in Calif, for he is part of (or the reason like you infer) regarding the killings on the border (Yet in reality he is not!)

Comment by Tara on September 22, 2010 at 2:10pm: Joe, the reason why Dixie's comments are not showing up anymore is because she quit the site over this thread. (DixieMiller) decided to leave 12160. included this message:
"The name calling and insinuations I find personally negative and don't want to be any part of it

Comment by 7R33SandR0P3S on September 22, 2010 at 2:00pm: Joe Anybody, I lived in California for most of my life and have seen with my own two eyes what the Illegal drug gangs bring to once respectable communities. Cali is one of the first to suffer the consequences of the invasion.

Further, when the burrito hits the fan with the military flexing it's armed power against the citizens it will come after a planned false flag provocateur event.
A military with foreign consorts will have little restraint from turning their guns on citizens.
I hope that helps.

Comment by Joe Anybody on September 22, 2010 at 1:56pm: When Marklar just recently posted --> "By demanding our resources for themselves illegally they rob these others of a fair shot at the same thing they are crying out for. How just is that? ".... My reply to Marklar is "Don't blame immigration for lack of jobs, the whole country has sliding down the lack of jobs slopes." The whole world is in a bad hurt economy wise.... I blame capitalism and "profits above all else" for the lack of jobs, I blame BIG corporation, I blame NAFTA and CAFTA, and the world bank, and the IMF, and the Federal reserve, those are the folks who took the jobs and market over seas, I blame the Wall Street bankers and lobbies, I blame th Congress for being in bed with corporations and lobbies, I blame all those groups and departments, and policies, before i blame a working man or woman that is laboring for the betterment of society and them selves. The immigrations dragnets are also "ruining jobs" closing down towns and businesses, making people afraid to even go outside on a public sidewalk let alone spend money or work.The fear and the corporate greed have taken jobs, and your comment is misleading and not accurate.

Comment by Joe Anybody on September 22, 2010 at 1:41pm: the one person (Dixie) who originally 'posted' here about (her) "me first" deleted all her posting ...then sent me a personal comment that said "I never said Me First" then she deleted that personal comment to me as well ??? ...just to let readers know, since the thread now has missing pieces related to her demanding that she be First In Line.
