Saturday Morning Fight Over The Dream Act

Update 10:37 AM CST - Fight Over, for now! The US Senate blocked discussion of DREAM Act, sending the bill to defeat. Democrats could not get 60 votes to support the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a measure that would have created a pathway to citizenship for undocumented illegal immigrants who were brought to this country as children. The mood of the country "shifted on the issue of illegal immigration, support among Republicans and some Democratic senators evaporated, with many decrying it as backdoor amnesty for lawbreakers. Even a former co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), voted against it." [Source: Washington Post]

Kenneth Wallis, Little Rock Immigration Examiner: Saturday morning should be devoted to uneducational cartoons, breakfast in pajamas, and video games, especially so close to Christmas! Sadly, it appears that the Leftist Controlled Senate will attempt to sneak another attempt of The Dream Act Saturday morning! I will have to watch whichever CSPAN it's on instead of reruns of DragonBall Z. This bill will cost millions just in processing by the already overburdened and unsecured Immigration System, which legalized 3 of the Fort Dix Six, giving 1 of them U.S. Citizen status. Keep the calls and faxes going. If the general switchboard doesn't work, call the D.C. and the local offices. Especially Pryor! There may not be an exact amount of the number of illegal aliens who will get citizenship/legal status from the Dream Act, but I can guarantee it's over 9,000.
