Shamnesty Watch: Keep the heat on the DREAM Act…Only 18 Senators have committed to voting no; Update: 20 Senate no votes?
Update 3:45pm Eastern 9/19. I’ve heard conflicting reports from readers who contacted Sen. John Cornyn’s office about the DREAM shamnesty. Haven’t heard back directly from his staff myself, but my friend Ragnar at the Jawa Report says he was told Cornyn is opposed to “all immigration-related amendments to the appropriations bill, including the DREAM act.”
Also hearing that Sen. Allard is a no.
Update 1:30pm Eastern 9/19. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is on the fence. Reader Jon sends her office’s response to whether she supports or opposes the DREAM Act:
Thank you for contacting me regarding in-state tuition for long-term resident immigrants. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.
On March 1, 2007, Congressman Howard Berman (D-CA) introduced H.R. 1275, the American Dream Act. This legislation would allow states to offer in-state tuition rates to long-term resident immigrant students. Specifically, it seeks to repeal a provision in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 which requires states providing in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants to offer the same benefits to out-of-state residents.
A similar measure, S. 774, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act of 2007, was introduced by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) on March 6, 2007, and has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, on which I do not serve. This measure would also allow certain long-term residents who entered the U.S. as children to have their immigration or residency status adjusted to conditional permanent residents or permanent residents. Should H.R. 1275 or S. 774 come before the full Senate, you may be certain I will keep your views in mind.
On June 17, 2001, Texas began allowing nonresident students who have graduated from a Texas high school and resided in the state for at least three years to qualify for in-state tuition. These students are also eligible for state financial aid programs such as the Texas Public Educational Grant Program and the Students Incentive Grant Program.
I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
Give her a call: 202-224-5922.

Update 10:30am Eastern 9/19. Meanwhile, more bloody consequences of open-borders: Illegal alien gangster/drug addict/previous deportee kills police officer, takes hostage; Illegal Immigrant Pleads Guilty To Killing Marine, Date.
Update 9:00am Eastern 9/19: Former INS senior special agent Michael Cutler sounds the alarm on stealth amnesty and writes: “Democracy is not a spectator sport! Lead, follow or get out of the way!”
Power to the People best-selling author Laura Ingraham’s message: “Okay, it’s time for another P2TP moment–elite Dems and Republicans are trying to backdoor amnesty in the Senate this week by pushing a provision through that would give illegal alien students in-state tuition benefits. TOTAL OUTRAGE! Call your senator today–now–do it. Tell them NO to the ‘Dream Act!’”
KFI’s John and Ken are leaning on California’s senators.
The Washtimes editorial board reports:
The Bush administration has not taken an official position, but Defense Department officials are quietly urging members to support the bill. Meanwhile, Homeland Security officials, alarmed by the prospect of massive fraud resulting from Mr. Durbin’s proposal, have been opposing it. This is a clear cut issue: The DREAM Act is a nightmare.
Tell your senator: Vote NO on Senate Amendment 2237
Yesterday morning, I gave out Senate phone numbers and reiterated my warning from last week about the coming scheme by open-borders politicians in both aisles to slip the DREAM Act into the Department of Defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585).

Ruh-Roh. Time to stretch the fingers again!
I’ve already done my part. Graham and DeMint look like their in the NO camp. My rep, Joe Wilson, is there too.
Mel Martinez’s Washington DC office told me yesterday that he was planning on voting against ALL immigration amendments offered to the DOD bill. So you can mark him down as a “NO”.
I’m calling Senator Ensign, dingy harry is a waste of time.
I’m screwed in California, and not in a good way.
We have to be right 100% of the time. The pro-crime open borders senators only have to succeed once.
Actually they don’t even have to legitimize open borders as our unpatriotic Coyote-in-Chief Jorge Bush won’t enforce the law.
I suggest we call the new nation “Kennebush” after the two turds who are most responsible for chamberpot immigration and illegal infiltration, that their names may live forever in infamy.
Ugh…It’s hopeless to call the dynamic duo from WA state. But I will.
Pennsylvania is in a bad way as well.
AJ-
It’s really shameful because California is the state that is feeling most of effects of illegal immigration. You’d think they would get their head out of the sand, and look around. Kind of what they are doing in Arizona…..
Alponse-
Question: what President HAS enforced the law regarding illegal immigration? Are they all unpatriotic?
All Senators have answering machines in their offices. Even those who don’t have them in their DC offices have them in their local offices. All Senate & House members’ phone numbers can be found here: http://numbersusa.com/congressinfo/

If possible, please don’t just call/fax your own Senator. This is too important. Senators are willing to take donations from non-constituents, so they should be willing to listen to the requests of non-constituents, too.
Also, tell everyone you know who’s against amnesty about this. Most people haven’t even heard of this yet.
Clinton was better on immigration than Bush. It pains me to say it, but there it is.
Mind you, we seem set to nominate somebody worse than Bush.
Calif has gone from being Reagan Red to deep blue specifically because of the past amnesties, imho. This is the long-term danger of these amnesties.
I know some people who are former illegals & current US citizens who refer to those here illegally as ‘their people’. They don’t consider me one of ‘their people’ even though we’re citizens of the same country & of the same ethnic background. They only regard their fellow illegals & amnesty supporters as being ‘their people’.
Eisenhower was pretty much the last one, although Clinton was actually better than GWB.
fiona—-Do you think NAFTA had anything to do with Clinton being better on illegal immigration? They could be bringing them in by the truck load now.- thanks for your response I gotta go.
ALLARD from Colorado will vote no.
He’d better vote no.
.
OK , I’ll call him again…
.
along with a few dozen of my friends.
He’ll vote NO.
.
Just curious Michelle, why didn’t you list our other Senator from Colorado?/
.
.KIDDING.
we lost salazar when he was born, on this issue.
I suppose that’s possible, but Bush 41 is actually the one who started NAFTA. Clinton just completed the process. Although I said he was better than GWB, Clinton was actually terrible on immigration, too. Clinton got some amnesties passed, but they were smaller than GWB’s. He fought reinforcing the existing fence & building any new fencing. IIRC, he actually put a Mexican citizen on some immigration-related cmte. He tried to get a big union-backed amnesty, but failed. The one thing Clinton was genuinely better at than GWB was workplace enforcement, but I think that was probably to make the unions happy.
So, Clinton was definitely bad on this issue, he just wasn’t as stunningly bad as GWB.
I called Harkin and Grassley today. Harkin’s office said he hasn’t announced his position.
Grassley’s said the same. But, I went to a townhall meeting with Grassley last year and he told me to my face that he supports the Dream Act. He said it is not the fault of the children that their parents brought them here and we owe them a college education. He would rather have them in school than on welfare. Then he told me “You know we can’t send them all home.” If you live in Iowa he cannot be depended on. Call and call again.
Harkin will vote with the wind. He is still worth calling. Last time he voted against amnesty when he saw the wind shift.
Thanks for reporting that about Grassley. Anyone who calls Grassley’s office should probably point out that this isn’t just for kids. ANYONE can claim that they came here before the age of 16 & have been here for at least 5 years, b/c no corroborating proof is required. There will be people in their 30’s & 40’s who will be getting this amnesty, guaranteed. Then, when they’re legal, they can sponsor anyone they want to be legalized, simply by claiming that that person is a relative. The govt won’t be doing DNA tests, so how would they discover that they aren’t related? This is no different than the KBK amnesty earlier this year, it’s just packaged differently.
Also, Harkin’s up for re-election next year. That should make it easier to convince him to vote against this.
PHOOOEY!!! I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT TEXAS SENTORS KNEW THEY DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE!
Cornyn and Huthcison should know better by now!
Hutchison is still hoping to parlay herself into the Governor’s mansion next Governor’s race! UGH! PHRRYYYPPING RINO!!! We sure don’t need THAT down here in RECONQUISTALAND!
PLEASE GUYS! HEAT UP THOSE PHONE LINES!
Those of us down here in the border regions, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Clinton who gave them blanket amnesty and instant voter registration just WEEKS before a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION???
Yeah, right!
SO BARFING!!!
See my post #17. I agree w/you that Clinton was terrible on immigration. The one area where he was better than GWB was workplace enforcement, but he likely only did that to appease the labor unions.
In an earlier post, I said this:
I just found out that the switchboard is actually open 24/7, so these toll-free #’s can be used anytime. Amazing.
I sent a letter to Warner, Webb, and Durbin. It essentially asked why they were considering this, when hard working Americans like myself are burdened with school debt.
I asked why precious college slots should be taken by individuals who have not followed the rules and qualified for visa or citizenship, while a number of qualified students will be passed up when those slots are filled.
I asked why they are looking to fix a non-existent problem, when there is a real and large problem of illegal alien identity theft, whose numbers are around 20 million across the US, and who are impacting the future of Social Security to the tune of over $500 BILLION.
I also took the time to reminder Mr. Durbin that it was his state that offered driver’s license for bribes, and that “my” illegal alien still roams the city of Chicago with an Illinois issued but illegally obtained Haz-Mat CDL.
I expect 2 out of 3 canned responses soon. Warner was I only chance, and he’s going soft since announcing retirement
Good morning Crash, yes they do like those form letters patting themselves on the back. And you’re reponses will probably arrive well after this is over. I cant believe their trying to pull off this piece-meal garbage for us to swallow. Makes me sick.
Called Cornyn and Hutchison (Texas) yesterday. Nothing definite. I pray they were listening the first time.
One piece of amnesty is still amnesty.
These idiots will never learn that we are not illiterate out here and we are paying attention to every single thing they do … no more sneaking things by us as in the past … thanks to great Americans like Michelle keeping us informed of things we can’t learn about elsewhere (as in MSM, Alphabet networks, etc.).
We wore them down last time and I think it will take an even bigger effort this time around because they have had time to be approached by all the lobbyists for open-borders with more arm twisting BS.
Kyl is already onboard and if McCain has any sense he learned his lesson last time as his Prez bid went down the crapper immediately after that … so if he is serious about running he had best vote against this attempt to sneak this into the DoD bill …
BTW … already called and faxed both of their offices in DC as well as back here in AZ …
I called Collins and Snowe here in Maine, as well as Sununu and Gregg in NH. I got no answer one way or the other from any of these senators’ offices. Snowe is a democrat in republican clothes, so anything could happen with her. She just frustrates the hell out of me. Her head is stuck in the sand. Collins is up for reelection, and she voted NO on the immigration bill.
Ombre Rose…Cornyn a RINO? No way!
Our Senators will come through without a doubt.
If you remember, Hutchison two weeks ago started formulating legislation that would forbid TXDOT from trying to toll already existing roads. Cornyn latched on immediately. What TXDOT tried to sneak through was unconscionable. Wanting to buy back from the fed the roads we already paid for to toll them. Many here feel that that was the last straw for TXDOT’s existence. They could be dismantled and replaced for their gross mismanagement.
The good thing about all this is that it is a HUGE setback for the development and construction of the Trans Texas Corridor. But of course, it ain’t over till it’s over. Lots of fighting ahead of us.
I’ll call/fax Cornyn and Hutchinson today.
DesertLover — I think you are 100% right about this taking an even bigger effort. They will keep doing this over and over again, and we have to stay on top of them. I’m proud of my KY senators, but it took Mitch a little too long to state his position, imho. Bunning is 100% on these issues, so my concerns about him during the election have been set aside.
However, I’m worried about them when the Ag portion comes up next. KY farmers (including the horse farms) use loads of migrant workers — and I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of them don’t bother with the legalities of the visas. There is so much money in the horse industry, I’m afraid both Bunning and McConnell will be swayed on that one. I intend to keep badgering them about it though!
Has anyone asked the President if he is going to veto this if it passes?
called my sens. hope it helps.
lol, good one pressto. unless you’re serious?
I believe you can also put our other Senator for Tennessee, Senator Lamar Alexander, in the “No” column. Here is the statement from his website.
ALEXANDER STATEMENT EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE DREAM ACT
September 17th, 2007 – “The problem with this legislation is that it extends government benefits to people illegally in the United States. We cannot restore a system of legal immigration – which is the real American Dream – if we undermine it by granting new benefits to those who are here illegally.”
Update Washington/Chicago:
President Veto’s HR-1585

Film at 11:00
The elitists just don’t get it. They are being “magnanimous” with the hard-earned tax money of American citizens. And these very same citizens can NOT get in-state tuition if they attend school outside their home states.
Furthermore, those very generous schools who desperately want to offer in-state tuition to illegals are extremely strict in NOT allowing it to out-of-state US citizens.
There’s a revolution coming.
An interesting comparison: Michelle and those on the right are pushing to stop backdoor amnesty, and those on the left are pushing in the same manner to give habeas corpus to foreign terrorists.
I called my Senators and told them to vote no…HOWEVER, should the DREAM Act pass then I expect a full refund on any tuition/registration fees I paid for my college education…after all fair is fair.
Glad to see Graham joined DeMint in SC -NC got it right (and we did not give John Edwards a second Senate term – sorry, I just love repeating it! Now if we can just dump our Governor…)
Gramma, I’ll trade you two Senators for you’re Gov. has to be a deal for the better here.
Why would the Defense Department be for passage and Homeland Security against? I don’t understand!
I’ve called Voinovitch and Brown, both Ohio Senators, but don’t have much faith that they will oppose the provision.
The HOUSE may be our best bet. Better start on them.
I did my part. Florida will likly be a split. We have a very liberal dimocrap. I have emailed him on many positions and yet to get a single answer that I could pin him down on. I am thinking:
Yes – 1
No – 1
Senator Allard is “highly likely” to vote no, and he “is against the dream act”.
. I asked for immediate commitment to vote NO so others could join him…..the office said she would “make sure to pass on my sentiments”…
.
Terrifying is one word I used for the Dream Act, I hope he hears that sentiment.
.
FOLLOW THE MONEY.
They just never quit, do they?
Oh yeah, we should watch out for a back-door “we’ll vote against it, but we’ll vote for the whole bill itself if it passes” type shenanigans. You remember the shell game they were gonna play with the cloture vote, right?
Alas, that greatly understates just how bad this legislation is. It would give immediate amnesty to several million illegals, who would then be eligible to sponsor ther illegal relatives already in the country.
Why are illegals attending school in this country? Because the Supreme Court prohibited states from prohibiting illegals from attending school.
I am so sick of this pandering to Mexicans crap.
Last nite at our PTA subcommittee meeting I found out that a 27 page policy document our principal was *required* to have translate into Spanish cost the PTA $400 to do it.
Not one single spanish speaking family is going to read the damn thing. They don’t give a damn about policy. They just want the free lunch program and the free day care (class time in spanish speaking only classrooms) and after-school programs ….ALL FREE…ALL ON THE TAXPAYER DIME.
It’s the freakin LAW.
Amen brother bear. English only is way overdue.
Just sent e-mails to Cornyn and Hutchison outlining my thoughts and those of my relatives, neighbors, and friends. Sent MM’s commentary to everyone in my address book yesterday and pleaded/begged they get involved again to squash this issue. We own property in another state and sent messages to those fools as well. Sadly, the last amnesty push didn’t wake up any of the morons we’ve voted into office.
A list of some of the privileges accorded illegals, but not US citizens. They are not unifor.
Tax Evasion
False Identity Documents
False SSN
Resisting arrest
Driving without a license, registration or insurance
Smuggling marijuana into the country
Death Sentence (qualified)
Driving Under Influence(gualifird)
Housing Laws
Professional Licenses
NumbersUSA has now removed Kyl from their list, so we’re down to 17 confirmed NO.
What are these idiots getting from doing this to us???????
Please, someone TELL ME.
Besides the fact that they have LOST their minds……if they even have one…..maybe that should be-their souls.
I have been e-mailing Crapo like crazy guess I need to start calling too. Obviously not having much of an impact with the e-mails. On the upside Congresses approval rating has dropped to 11% due to the Zogby poll released today with the margin of error I put them in the single digits. Most of these polls are slanted way in the liberals favor. I am still fuming about them tacking this on to the Defense Appropriation use to fund our troops and protect this nation, meanwhile the traitors in the Senate try slipping this past the taxpayers.
Another thought…send e-mails or call those senators running for POTUS and clearly state you cannot support them if they vote in favor of this nonsense. Most important, close your wallet. Do not contribute a dime to any of them that vote YES.
Cornyn’s office told me he does not want this bill to be part of the Defense appropriation bill and it should stand alone for a clean vote.
kougar#54 – thank you for sharing that about Cornyn. Sometimes I about give up on him, then he surprises me. Now to get Hutchinson to commit. If the bill were submitted on it’s own merits the public would pay greater attention and there would be a huge outcry condemning it.
Graham? Seriously??? Wow, someone must really be afraid of losing his job.
I see that Sens. Clinton and Schumer aren’t in the list anywhere….what gives?
I believe that both of our TN senators (Alexander and Corker) are in the NO column, but here’s why this whole thing infuriates me:
In 1996 (after a 30-year “empty-pockets” hiatus), I returned to school to complete my degree. It should’ve taken only one more year, but due to a “diversified” change in major to combine scholastic and experiential elements, it took two years. I received my degree from the University of Memphis in 1998 at the age of 56. Had I been afforded the same “rights” as these lawbreakers, I could have attended (with in-state tuition) the University of Missouri — which is my birth state. U of Missouri has a very highly rated School of Journalism (some say the highest in the country), and while I have nothing against U of Memphis, I would have preferred completing my education at Missouri. Out-of-state tuition prohibited that, as I couldn’t afford it
I also have nothing against properly documented aliens, but even so, why are they given more rights than I have?
And may I remind everyone: the Bill of Rights declares that our rights are “endowed by our Creator” — they are not “given” by government!
Note to Ill. voters (hope it’s not against MM’s rules to say this here):
Dick Durbin before he dicks you!
So – what is Kay Hutchinson saying?
That statement basically admits that Texas is rewarding illegal immigrants with in state tuition & financial aid.
That is exactly what opponents of this whole thing DO NOT WANT!
Every position in an institution of higher education or every grant or dollar of aid that goes to someone who came here illegally means one less opportunity for a legal American citizen ( born or immigrated ).
I had to re-read that response from her twice -
To me, that is the ultimate fence-sitting response letter. It takes no position, and if you read it – it could be sent to either someone complaining about amnesty or someone supporting it!
Cleverly crafted – but total political BS.
They just don’t seem to get it!
I’ve called and faxed about 40 Senators—How about it? Can we get more support and kill this special interest program?
I’ve been trying to call Hutchison’s DC office all week and the line has been busy constantly. I suspect her staffers have taken the phone off the hook so they don’t have to listen to us Plebes. During the last round of shamnesty I called them to complain just as she voted for cloture. The guy that answered was rude, short with me, and exasperated. I did call her Houston office yesterday and register my displeasure at these amendments. But I seriously doubt that will mean jack with her. She usually does whatever the hell she wants and to hell with us plebes.
Cornyn’s office at least is answering the phone, and the guy that answered this morning (my third call this week) admitted that their phones were ringing off the wall and the ratio was over 90% against these bills. But Cornyn’s staffer said they had not had a chance to talk with him about it (yeah, and I have a bridge to sell you in Minneapolis.).
I’m getting my kids through college by working my backside off, gritting my teeth and with loans and and these buttheads want to give my tax money to people who have no right to be here and then bump my kids out of classes (don’t lie to me) to boot?
The words to describe how I feel can’t be printed here.
My kids don’t deserve that kind of prejudice.
Giving any illegal aliens green cards so they can legalize their relatives with green cards is amnesty!
Just watch what the Bushenator does the last three months of his last term.
Everything he’s done for illegal aliens will have lead up to that time when he lays pen to executive orders and has no fear of public reaction.
This is starting to look pretty bad. But the right remains fast asleep for the most part.
I called Senator Ensigns office.(NV) The clerk that pick up the phone says he is undecided on this one.
Mr. guerilla
I challenge Kay Bailey to drive herself out of the Highland Park area, without a US Marshall by her side, and look around Dallas. I call for her to be amongst her “people” and see how safe she feels in Downtown Dallas. Maybe some of the “day laborers” can be her chauffeur for the day. And check out Parkland Hospital (where JFK died) and look around as 56% of patients are illegals, with diseases not seen in the civilized world in decades.
PLEASE CALL HER _ ASK FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS BACK.
CAN WE SUE THESE SENATORS IF AN ILLEGAL COMMITS A CRIME AGAINST US.
POST THAT EVERYWHERE
That is not exactly a ringing denunciation of the Dream Act, is it?
From NumbersUSA.
This darned thing is going to pass. Michelle needs to bump this to the top and keep it there.
This next election, ALL members of the congress need to be retired. Term limits need to be reintroduced and ENOUGH of the career politicans. Enought, I SAY. In ten years time there will no longer be a United States. All of them must go. What is the alternative? USSA?
A fence sitter is nothing but a panderer to whoever or whatever deems he/she the most “profit”.
Weak and not committed to getting the job done.
Vote those losers OUT….and I just pray it won’t be too late.
If this dang thing passes, WHAT are WE going to do guys/gals???????
We need to revolt.
I know many of you are weary, but we need to fight even harder this time. This bill is much more insidious so we need to put in even more effort to counteract the fact that fewer people will be helping us this time.
I think I’ll send this to every Republican Senator, since the threat I make affects them all, if only indirectly.
Dear Republican Senator:
I have had it up to here with the GOP.
If the DREAM Act passes I vow not to vote for any Republican candidates, at any level of government, in ‘08, nor will I donate any time or money to the benefit of the GOP.
If it passes, I won’t even care if you voted against it: I am holding the entire party responsible.
The same goes for the next amnesty bill you traitors try to slip past us. Keep this up and I may even start voting Democrat just to spite you.
I wish I thought that this would trouble the GOP leadership, but I honestly don’t get that impression from them.
carole#67 – Amen. I used to love downtown Dallas. Last time I tried even Neiman Marcus was closed on a Sunday. Filling the main entrance were panhandlers, street people, and homeless. I’d love to see Kay Baily, Cornyn, or Bush try to leave the West End late at night and not feel afraid. The very people they are trying to help hate them with a vengence, and will never give them credit. Whatever decisions they’ve made to help the illegals have only emboldened them. That coupled with the Dems wanting to give away the U.S. to just about anyone means we’re hosed, toast. dinosaurs. I vow to never vote for another incumbent running for office. Although the vast majority are from Mexico, Central and South America, that by no means mean they are the only ones. The number of illegal asians are staggering as well.
#74 – failed to add that a great number of illegals in Texas are from the ME. Just like Calif., Texas is full and there is no way to support the sheer numbers without even higher taxes. Nor are the resources there to support populations as high as they have.

Chairman@gop.com
Info@gop.com
Administration@gop.com
RNCommunications@gop.com
Counsel@gop.com
Political@gop.com
Finance@gop.com
Membershipservices@gop.com
MemberRelations@gop.com
ecampaign@gop.com
If people are serious about this I’ll take the time to get the party email addresses for each state as well.
Looking up all the state senator email addresses might be overkill, but we need to fight harder this time. Hold the entire party responsible!
Y Prime #76, excellent idea. Last time we only blamed and targeted individuals. From the start it should have been the whole/entire party. The defeat coming up is going to be wholesale abandonment of the conservative movement. No need to look up state senator email addresses. If people are motivated enough, a simple google will pull up what they need. If they cannot do that, I feel sorry for their loss of freedom.

This is insane. We can’t keep policing these SOBs morning, noon and night.
When you call your senators, demand they put forward a bill which will make it illegal to introduce any immigration issues into any bill which is not specifically immigration-oriented.
The endless spectre of invasion-by-political stealth hanging over this country is simply, utterly and completely unaccepable.
Sounds like a decision WAS made. Read it again. Long term RESIDENT IMMIGRANTS?

What are we missing?
What is in this bill that the DOD wants so much? What is hidden in here besides the illegal alien crap?
