Dems Push Ahead With DREAM Act

No matter how you look at it, if you are in this country without the proper documentation, nor can’t prove your citizenship, you have broken the law. And that doesn’t matter who or how you came to this country. The longer you remain, knowing this, you don’t deserve special treatment. By granting amnesty to them throught the DREAM Act, is a slap in the face to the law abiding citizens born here, and those who immigrated through the proper channels. But as usual, there’s a plan to push it through, in typical political fashion, led once again by Democrats. You see, they need those hispanic votes. Politics has become so corrupt, that the parties will lie, cheat, steal, and even abet those breaking the law, to retain power.

In fact, Democratic Sen Durbin, plans to make a full-court press Tuesday to revive the debate over a controversial proposal to give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children a path to legal status, as the Obama administration moves on a separate track to grant what some describe as “amnesty” to the same group.

He is announcing the first ever DREAM Act hearing in the Senate, claiming by granting amnesty will make our country stronger. Yeah right, all this is, is a power struggle, as who controls congress, and by the DREAM Act passage, all the more votes tossed to the Democrats.

Several top administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, plan to testify before Durbin’s subcommittee. The hearing and a recent memo from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement suggest officials are moving on two fronts to give illegal immigrant students a chance at staying.

Memo from ICE Director John Morton

The memo instructs staff to take into consideration 19 facts when exercising “prosecutorial discretion” — or the discretion an ICE attorney has in deciding whether and how to pursue or dismiss an immigration case. Among the factors are how long an illegal immigrant has been in the United States as well as their criminal history. But the list also includes factors similar to those in the DREAM Act — like whether the suspect arrived in the U.S. as a “young child,” whether the suspect is pursuing an education, and whether the suspect has served in the military.

And according to the memo it states that also whether a suspect came to the U.S. as a child — should weigh in their favor. FAIR, decried the new set of instructions, describing it as a gift to DREAM Act proponents. Though Durbin is pushing anew to pass the legislation, the now GOP-controlled House is unlikely to approve any such bill, even if it clears the Senate. Hopefully the latter is true.

“By administrative fiat, they are achieving a grand-scale amnesty for large classes of illegal aliens that they have been unable to accomplish with the stalled DREAM Act legislation,” FAIR said in a statement last week.

Supposedly, the agency says they will be going after the most serious offenders. Now wait here, isn’t there a state suing over this? These so called serious offenders are turned over to ICE, with the understanding they are being deported, when documents prove they are actually turned loose back into the communities to commit more crimes.

The official said the administration is “doing more to keep criminal aliens who are threats to public safety — including murderers, rapists and child molesters — off our streets than ever before,” as well as targeting employers who break immigration law. Yeah right……the Obamanut is losing in the polls among hispanic voters, so he’s desparate. And how can we forget, census totals show Hispanics changing the electoral map — by 2012, they’ll compose one-fifth of the vote in Texas and one-quarter in California.
