the House of Representatives today approved a bill that would grant thousands of young, llegal aliens a chance to become citizens contingent on them completing two years of college or military service by a vote of 216-198.
Critics are calling the bill "amnesty" for illegal aliens while supporters say the measure would strengthen the US economy and boost military readiness.
the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the bill today (December 9) at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, however Republicans have said that they will block the bill.
Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)said: "Millions of illegal immigrants could attempt to become legal residents as a result of this proposal, according to some estimates, and it is incumbent upon the Senate to ensure our policies never again lead to a situation where we are confronted with upwards of 12 million illegal immigrants residing within our borders"
I have mixed feelings about the DREAM ACT as I have publicly stated that the children are the victims as a result of our government not enforcing our borders and immigration laws and greedy businesses who hire illegal aliens has created this mess that we are in today.
Should we show leniency to the children that were brought here at a very young age against their will?
Yes... but not without consequences.
What happens to the original offenders IP i.e. The parents who deliberately brought their children into a foreign country knowing full well the type of life that their children will face?
I'll tell you what will happen... NOTHING!
the parents should be held accountable because it is a clear case of child abuse.
In the meantime, our government is forcing OUR children to learn Spanish in our schools.
So if something like the DREAM ACT becomes law, I would add one more requirement to the college or military requirement, and that is English to the mix.
but then again...
