The illegal alien student bailout architects are meeting with President Obama today to strategize and schedule the DREAM Act vote for the lame-duck session. Via Politico: “Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) will meet with President Barack Obama Tuesday afternoon to talk about the chances of getting comprehensive [...]

Two years ago, immigration enforcement activists scored a victory in a lower California court challenge to the state’s illegal aien student tuition-discount scheme. The lower court ruled that California’s version of the DREAM Act conflicted with federal immigration law. Flashback: A state appellate court has put a financial cloud over the future of tens of [...]

Nothing smells right about Harry Reid. His re-election on Tuesday has deepened the stench. Theories are flying left and right to explain the failure of polls that had consistently showed Sharron Angle ahead. The New York Times points to Latinos as Reid’s hidden salvation. And not just any Latinos. It was apparently Latinos who prefer [...]

Soon-to-be lame duck Harry Reid is promising yet another vote on the perpetually rejected DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout. Univision host Jorge Ramos crowed about it on his Twitter page, promoting an interview with Reid scheduled to air this Sunday. The Huffington Post confirmed: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has promised to bring [...]

The illegal alien student bailout is alive and kicking, despite the grass-roots immigration enforcement backlash that helped kill Harry Reid’s social justice-laden defense authorization bill earlier this week. According to @Senatus: “The DREAM Act has been procedurally added to the legislative calendar as a stand-alone bill (S. 3827).” Don’t forget: A critical number of Soros/open-borders [...]

Walking it back.

Scroll for updates…Scott Brown, Mike Johanns oppose, Hutchison also a no… Melt the phones Last Friday, I dissected Harry Reid’s cap-and-gown illegal alien amnesty — i.e., the DREAM Act amendment to the defense authorization bill up for a vote this week. Last Wednesday, I warned you about the shamnesty Republicans who have voted and sponsored [...]

From the Department of Justice website (pdf), this is the federal statute regarding unlawful employment of illegal aliens: Sec. 274A. [8 U.S.C. 1324a] (a) Making Employment of Unauthorized Aliens Unlawful.- (1) In general.-It is unlawful for a person or other entity- (A) to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in [...]

The open-borders lobby is out in full force, launching a week-long campaign yesterday to pass another illegal alien amnesty-by-another-name. DREAM Act activists and Hispanic lawmakers strategized with President Obama at the White House. The “undocumented students action and resource network” has been activated. How about you? Keep track of where your lawmakers stand at NumbersUSA. [...]

I’ve been covering the bipartisan open-borders push for the illegal alien DREAM Act since 2004. Quick legislative recap: Senate Republicans beat back the attempt to give special in-state college tuition preference to illegal aliens in 2007. It fell eight votes short of cloture in 2008 and was reintroduced in the House in 2009 to no [...]

Well, this is very noteworthy. Today, the Colorado state legislature defeated an illegal alien in-state tuition discount bill. Five Democrats crossed over and joined pro-enforcement Republicans to kill the DREAM Act legislation. Open borders lobbyists and local columnists poured on the victim-card propaganda, but taxpayers weren’t buying it. And Democrats are starting to listen. Let’s [...]

The shamnesty crowd is ready to roll again. The illegal alien college tuition discount bill known as the “DREAM Act” has been reintroduced — with bipartisan support, as usual: Congressmen Howard Berman (D-CA) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL), announced the reintroduction today of the DREAM Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. This legislation will restore [...]

The DREAM Act nightmare.

As expected, John McCain’s appearance at the annual convention of La Raza/The Race yielded no Hermana Souljah moments. Ed Morrissey points to McCain’s mild, almost apologetic rejoinder to open-borders zealot Enrique Morones and compares it to Barack Obama’s embrace of the radical activist. That’s a relief. But it’s the very least we could expect of [...]

DREAM Act theater.

Closing the door.

Out of the shadows.

“We need a president who has our backs.”

Robert Novak and other Beltway Republicans have found a lot not to like about Mike Huckabee. Glaringly, Novak has nothing to say about Huckabee’s unrepentant open-borders record: For shamnesty. For recycling McCain-esque insults of American workers. For pandering to identity politics. And not only for government in-state illegal alien tuition discounts, but for expanding them [...]

Rampage. Plus: Bipartisan immigration enforcement.

My liveblogging post is here for those who missed it. Thanks to all who lit up the Capitol switchboard and beat back another shamnesty attempt. Stay vigilant. They’re relentless. Here’s the roll. And thanks to reader Greg for today’s shamnesty photoshop of the day:

The nightmare continues.

Not dead yet.

“It would not be prudent.”

They’ll be back…

Illegal alien tuition breaks? Just say no.

Senators soft on illegal alien tuition breaks.

Turning off an open-borders magnet.

Call now. Call tomorrow. Keep calling.
