   I really hope Sharon Angle turns this into a campaign commercial and fast. Somehow I have a feeling the voters of Nevada would not be to thrilled with this move. The commercial should show this latest move and compare it with Reid’s statments about no illegals in Nevada.

   That Trophy Husband John McCain will do what ever John McCain wants to do and thinks is good for John McCain. So the Republicans gain control of one or both Houses-with the likes of John McCain, Lindsay Graham and such how is that good for America? Perhaps two inches of sewage in better than four inches of sewage on the floor but I would prefer to fix the sewer line and remove all the sewage.

   All my adult life I have followed the principle “support your candidate but after the primary support your party“. Now I have to ask myself WHY? Why and how can I support people I know do not have the best interest of the American people and this country at heart?

    This amendment will ensure that millions of children who grow up as Americans will be able to get the education they need to contribute to our economy. Students who come to America before age 16 and who have been here for five years should be able get their green card after they go to college or serve in the military. And many who have volunteered to defend our country can finally become citizens of it.

    How do illegals contribute to our economy? How are illegals entering college or the military if they are not citizens. There are international students but don’t they have to have a Visa or a green card to enter our country to attend a college? Should having a Visa to attend school automatically make you a citizen?
    Why do illegals enter the military in a country where they have no allegiance? Could it be for all the benefits? Don’t they have to take an oath to defend the constitution and can we believe they will in times of war?
    My head is going to explode.

    I have no problem with granting legal aliens citizenship AFTER they’ve served our country in the military. If they’re willing to die for my freedom, then I think I want them as citizens of my country.

    If I’m not mistaken, only legal aliens can enlist, people here on a VISA. We’ve always had non-American citizens in our military.

    One excellent example, if you’ve seen the movie We Were Soldiers and read the true story, a Ukrainian man who came to America legally died in that battle of Ia Drang after his unit rescued the survivors of the initial battle. He wasn’t an American citizen but earned his place in Arlington Cemetery.

    BUT, this is being used as another back-door approach to get every illegal in school to be given AMNESTY because “who will vote against our troops? (weep, weep) Why do you hate our troops?”

    So I oppose this entire bill.

    I think it was supposed to be LEGAL aliens serving in our military forces originally. Now I understand some recruiters “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

    I have no problem with LEGAL non-citizen members of our armed forces getting the faster track to citizenship.

    The DREAM ACT is actual front door amnesty. It must be crushed.

    You are corect. I am an American who was born in Germany (my dad was in the military). When I went to enlist I had to provide my passport to prove I was an American citizen as my birth certificate was in German.

    Here’s more on Roy Beck’s (of NumbersUSA) analysis and summary of this version of the DREAM ACT:

    Even If You Favor Amnesty For Some Illegal Teens, This DREAM Act Must Be Killed

    By Roy Beck, Tuesday, September 14, 2010, 7:43 PM EDT – posted on NumbersUSA

    ABC quoted me last night as saying that there is no question that many of the teenagers who would get an amnesty through the DREAM Act make for “compelling” cases. But I’m also quoted saying that this DREAM amnesty should not be passed.

    If the DREAM Act were actually limited to the PR rhetoric that comes out of the pro-amnesty organizations, there might be reason for a debate.

    If you barely paid attention, you would think this amnesty is just about illegal aliens who are high school valedictorians. If you pay a little more attention you would know it is larger than that but for good students who are teenagers or college students who were brought to the U.S. illegally when they were toddlers. You would think that they don’t know the language of their home country, have no ties there and if not given a U.S. amnesty would be without a country.

    Here’s the real story:

    No. 1: Not valedictorians — or even necessarily good students.

    Any illegal alien who can manage to meet the minimum requirements to graduate from high school or get an equivalent degree meets the first test.

    The DREAM Act is not at all limited to The emotional rhetoric for DREAM is false and misleading. This amnesty is NOT limited to high school valedictorians and other high-achieving college students who were brought to the U.S. illegally when they were toddlers.

    The amnesty includes illegal aliens up to age 35!

    And their arrival can be as late as age 15!

    The bill is a giant fraud loophole. People can claim the amnesty without providing proof of meeting criteria.

    Even the supporters of the DREAM amnesty admit that around 2.1 million people could qualify.

    No. 2: DREAM does nothing to stop the behavior that put teenagers into their situation. It leaves the jobs magnet in place.

    This amnesty has no enforcement measures at all. It allows employers to continue to hire illegal aliens, enticing millions more parents to bring their children here illegally and stay long enough for them to become high school students and demand another amnesty in a few years.

    No. 3: DREAM leaves intact the chain migration system that will allow these 2.1 million illegal aliens to eventually send for millions more relatives.

    Rather quickly, the amnestied illegal aliens would be able to get green cards for their parents. And millions of additional relatives would be able to start planning their applications and getting in line. This starts with adult siblings and moves on to aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.

    A large percentage of the illegal aliens in the U.S. today are extended family members of the illegal aliens who got amnesty in 1986 and also those in the six more-limited amnesties in the 1990s.

    I concur, with this caveat: Only with an Honorable Discharge. Anything less is unacceptable.

    I’d maybe have a Time in Service requirement, too. Undetected Crime for a 2-year enlistment isn’t enough for the reward of Citizenship, IMHO.

    But, I’d also bump up those who receive decorations for valor.

    One byproduct of this bill will be an increase in child smuggling, especially if parents know their kids are their golden tickets to green cards for them…plus, does any one believe any parent of a child eligible for this amnesty would be deported? the parents will get a de facto “amnesty” while waiting for their windfall.

    Plus, much like past amnesties, we can expect the lawsuits and legislative amendments to roll in on behalf of thos whose are ineligible to create loopholes or exceptions (if not already built into the bill), or just can’t meet the requirements, like graduating from high school or fulfilling the promise to attend college/join military. In particular, all of those people the Administration has granted indefinite leave to remain as “DREAM Act eligible” (never mind that there currently IS no “DREAM Act,”) simply because they graduated from a US high school 5 or 10 years ago, and have since entered the workforce or started families.

    I can see the lawyers and advocates whining now for amendments and exceptions and waivers to the current bill:
    “a GED or high school diploma should be good enough,”
    “there should be no proof required of college/military – they should just be able to give their word, and that should be good enough,”
    “it’s unreasonable to expect those who graduated 10, 15 years ago to go to college or join the military; those requirements should be waived.”

    Also, does anyone beleive it will only stop with the current group (and certain retroactive beneficiaries)…and not keep getting extended into a continuous rolling amnesty?

    This is a very, very bad piece of legislation – and it doesn’t do anything about the fact that all blame lies with the parents, who will ultimately benefit, consequence-free, from their (currently) poor choices. The only way I would remotely support this is if there was a provision that the parents and siblings could not benefit. The kids might not have had a say in their situation – but the same cannot be said for the parents.

    Official Summary
    3/26/2009–Introduced.Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act of 2009 or the DREAM Act of 2009 – Amends the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to repeal the denial of an unlawful alien’s eligibility for higher education benefits based on state residence unless a U.S. national is similarly eligible without regard to such state residence. Authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to cancel the removal of, and adjust to conditional permanent resident status, an alien who:

    (5) from the age of 16 and older, has never been under a final order of exclusion, deportation, or removal; and
    (6) was under age 35 on the date of this Act’s enactment. Sets forth the conditions for conditional permanent resident status, including:
    (1) termination of status for violation of this Act; and
    (2) removal of conditional status to permanent status. Authorizes an alien who has satisfied the appropriate requirements prior to enactment of this Act to petition the Secretary for conditional permanent resident status. Provides for:
    (1) exclusive jurisdiction;
    (2) penalties for false application statements;
    (3) confidentiality;
    (4) fee prohibitions;

    Blackstone is a really bright guy, but we all have our blind spots. Palin endorsed McCain. Blackstone does not understand that in the world of politics a Palin failure to endorse McCain would have finished her. She endorsed him just 15 short months after being his VP candidate and telling everyone McCain would make a Great President. In that 15 months McCain behaved more conservatively than he had when Palin was telling everyone he would make a Great President. And at the time she endorsed him Hayworth had not yet entered the race.

    She had no practical choice. And knowing what we know now, if she had endorsed Hayworth instead, it is probable McCain still would have won. McCain crushed him.

    However …… if McCain actually votes for this DREAM garbage in a lame duck session, there are millions of us out here who are going to be demanding an outright Palin condemnation of McCain for doing that in such an underhanded way. Not just a condemnation of the vote, but a condemnation of McCain, plus, ideally, an expression of deep regret for having endorsed him.

    McCain’s an open borders guy. That is one bad thing, but as bad as that is, pushing it through in a lame duck session is far worse. It will be getting through on the votes of congresscritters the People have thrown out.
