Shamnesty alert: The DREAM Act returns
I warned before that although the shamnesty behemoth was slain, Congress would try to sneak piecemeal shamnesty into legislation this session.
Well, it’s baaaaaaaack. Reader E.M. e-mails about the return of the DREAM Act, which gives illegal alien students special in-state college tuition discounts not available to native-born American students and legal immigrant students:
The DREAM Act, previously S.774, has been introduced as an amendment to H.R. 1585, National Defense Authorization Act (Defense Authorization Bill) as SA 2237, Title XXXIII (National Defense Stockpile), Sec. 3301 (Authorized Uses Of National Defense Stockpile Funds). It is number 254 of 353 proposed amendments.
Who but our corrupt and pandering senators would think of incorporating the DREAM Act into “stockpile” provisions buried at the end of the lengthy Defense Bill?
Keep your eye on this one.

The letter I received from Arlen the Specter mentioned they would try again. What losers.
Just the name of the bill is noxious to me. A cloak for another trojan horse provision of Shamnesty. We’ll kill it. Michelle’s on the case.
Who indeed. Cockroaches of the six or two-legged variety do their work in the dark. Shine a light on them, and they flee.
The answer to the old conundrum, “Who’s watching the guards?” is – Michelle Malkin, that’s who. She, and a handful of others.
Keep on shining that light, Michelle. The cockroaches may hate you for it, but we love you for the same reason.
Good ole Dicky looking out for illegals. I wonder what he has against law abiding citizens and immigrants? How proud Illinois voters must be of their Senator who is always looking out for the welfare of criminals.
Turban Durbin at it again…
Not precisely accurate, Michelle. Durbin is lead sponsor, but if you check you’ll see that sponsors also include turncoat RINOs Lugar and Hagel, as well as several of the Dem presidential candidates.
We are on it and I am personally making my phone calls to my Senators and Congressliars now.
He is just representing the people of Mexinois. We call them “new Americans” here in Mexinois, by the way–not criminals, and we welcome them as a prized additions representing the great Latin culture from which they are fleeing. They vote Democratic.

As Chicago has learned perpetual Democratic rule (last Republican mayor 1931), so shall a constant stream of “new Americans” and jackpot babies ensure Democratic rule in Mexinois, well, forever!
Let’s just call him Dick.
Bee-yooo-ti-ful!
Senator Dick, Senator Crapweasel, Senator Lifeguard, it’s a proud day in American history.
What complete IDIOT would wnat to give illegals something taxpaying citizens can’t get?
Illegals getting better deals than American citizens. Bizarro world.
Not to be critical of Michelle, but this isn’t new. Durbin dropped this amdt. back in mid-July; it’s just that Congress was in recess all of August and the Senate is just now getting back to DoD reauthorization.
“Today, candor compels us to admit that our vaunted two-party system is a snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation. Our two parties have become nothing but two wings of the same bird of prey.”
~ Pat Buchanan
And how so very true when it comes to shamnesty and panering to those who break into our country, many times aided and abetted by their own governments.
And what of our elected tormentors oath to “preserve, protect and defend” from “enemies foreign and domestic”?
We are being invaded by aliens that do not respect the rule of law or our sovereignty as a nation and our elected tormentors want to give them “goodies” they are not willing to give legal citizens and legal immigrants.
It is high past time to replace all 535 of these crapweasels!
Yes, Democrats have such a good, clean record in Illinois. Cook County comes to mind….. These new Democratic criminals will fit right in.
Another stealth tactic is sub-dividng illegals into categories and bestowing special class visas for them. Illegals who are victims of a crime in the US will now be eligible for U visas.
Some crime victims to get U.S. visas
It ought to be called the NIGHTMARE act.
Nightmare is right. I wonder why ole Dick chose this particular part of the shamnesty bill to pursue. One would think that as Senator he would want to protect our borders, deport criminal illegals who are killing and harming US citizens, stop illegals from illegally using our Social Security system, etc, any of which would be a more worthwhile item to promote.
I guess, like most Democrats, protecting illegals is more important than protecting US citizens. I am waiting for the next measure from Durbin or one of his ilk, to pormote a bill giving illegals the right to vote. Not that they aren’t already with ACORN’s help.
What can we do to stop this?? I e-mailed Durbin’s office the last time and of course, didn’t get a response. Perhaps I need to be more militant??

Unfair! The referenced link says the Governor’s Office of New Americans is working for development of immigrants – no mention of ethnicity except for a restraunt owner. Sounds like good, sound integration to me. In fact, I’d recommend they change the name of the administration’s committee to Governor’s Office of New Americans Development & Success (GONADS) to more accurately reflect their purpose.

Just drafted a letter to e-mail to Senator Crapo soon as I get home tonight, already know what will happen if I send one to tapping foot Craig (I hope to god he keeps his word and he resigns in 19 days). I really believe if this stuff doesn’t stop soon we could be heading for another anything but Civil War. What are these idiots in DC smoking or snorting? The last out cry by the American people didn’t get their attention so now they try to slip it too us again as an amendment in a defense appropriation. Thanks to sites like Michelle’s for keeping a keen eye on these slim balls and keeping us in the loop. We will never hear any of this from the MSM. I’m surprised I haven’t had that heart attack I’ve been working on watching what the Liberals are trying to do to this country over the last couple of days the old blood pressure is really going through the roof. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
“Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life,” he says. “She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.
“I’d spit on her if I saw her.”
See Dick.
Dick is a Senator.
Senator Dick likes to use words like DREAM Act.
But these are not nice words.
Don’t be a Dick.
Contact your Representative TODAY to defeat this AGAIN!
Thanks to sites like this one that are keeping us informed as to what’s going on. Most of us would not have known about this.
How about we start our own little ‘grassroots’ group – we’ll call it “Code Blue” – in reference to the medical terminology of when a patient’s heart stops.
This country’s heart has stopped. It used to be one infused with honor and pride and patriotism. It has since ’stopped’ due to the clogging of its cultural arteries with political ambition, short-sightedness, and a lack of conviction for what is right – not what gets you elected.
The “Code Blue” mission would be to revive the heart of America by performing CPR ( Conservative Principled Reactions ) to the #1 culprit of attacks on the Nation’s coronary system, Liberalism.
We have a critical patient, people, and the alarms are going off. We need a response to them. What’s it going to be?
I’m sure Durbin, like most senators, would love to bring in as much cheap labor as possible while undermining American sovereignty. But I also think that part of this move is to insert a poison pill int Defense Authorization Act.
Thanks for keeping us informed, Michelle. Time to shoot off a letter to Cornyn and Hutchison.
I like it!!!
They’re not all bad. Steve King, Mike Pence, Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint…OK, I can’t think of very many who are looking out for us, but don’t punish good representatives because the other 500-odd suck.
I wonder how many political donations Durbin has received from construction and agricultural unions, as well as hispanic political action committees?
Dick Turbin is up for re-election too. Contact the Republican challenger.
Well do NOT forget who’ll pay for these in state tuitions. Our tax dollars will be enabling yet another liberal/traitorous scheme.
What next?
Free homes with pools and country club memberships?
Can someone, anyone tell me why they’d try to pass this Nightmare I mean, DREAM bill?…what’s in it for them?..why not legal aliens or heaven forbit, regular Americans?…why
. Why this part?
They’ve learned a little from our enemies. It’s called a dry run.
Need Tom Tancredo in whire house more than ever: http://www.teamtancredo.com
Below is the section of President Calderón’s speech that deals with American immigration policies:
“Finally, I have said that Mexico does not end at the border, that wherever there is a Mexican Mexico is there; this is why the actions of the Government in favor of our migrating countrymen is guided by principles, by the defense and protection of their rights, by prevention for detecting measures that may affect our people and by the professionalism we must offer our co-nationals.
For this reason, we are already using all the resources of our consular network for the benefit of Mexicans abroad.
On behalf of the Mexican Government, I again strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the United States Congress and Government, measures that are making the persecution and humiliating treatment of undocumented Mexican workers worse.
The insensitivity shown toward those who contribute a great deal to the economy and to society in the United States has been incentive to redouble our battle to gain recognition of their enormous contribution to the economies of both nations and to defend their rights.
Therefore, the Government of Mexico will continue to firmly insist to both countries’ societies and Governments on the necessity of comprehensive immigration reform and of categorically rejecting construction of a wall on our common border.
Guys & Gals,
I’ve been warning about this for a month now…A group of spoiled whiny high school brats has undertaken this effort in order to get amnesty for Juan Gomez & his brother Alex (who have overstayed a 6 month tourist visa for 16+ years AND ignored a govt. deportation order for 5+ years). Call your senators and representatives and tell them you oppose the DREAM Act. Also, join the facebook group “Deport Juan Gomez”.
Say it loud and long on your next visit to the No Spin Zone, Michelle. Millions of us will be cheering you on when you do.
I am so SICK of these scumbags in DC. Not a single one of them acts for the people of this country. We need reform so badly it hurts.
AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!
Sorry just had to yell
If this gets passed will I get a refund on my student loans?
Also all the Govenors are in on it

That used to be the case, but it isn’t like that anymore…
Can you spell “assimilation”?
I’m not surprised.
