DREAM Act a nightmare

[troublesome one]

While proponents will trot out poor illegals that can't get into college due to their status the net result is more drain on the American taxpayer and defacto amnesty. The Dems have control of all three branches of government and STILL can't pass it on its merits (it was introduced in the House on March 26, 2009) so Harry Reid (D-NV) is tying it to a defense appropraiations bill.

Pitiful.

I'm not saying that I support this, but after reading the Wiki link "During the first six years, the immigrant would be granted "conditional" status, and would be required to graduate from a two-year community college or complete at least two years towards a 4-year degree, or serve two years in the U.S. military. After the six year period, an immigrant who met at least one of these three conditions would be eligible to apply for legal permanent resident status. During this six year conditional period, immigrants would not be eligible for federal higher education grants such as Pell grants, but they would be able to apply for student loans and work study", it might not be so bad if they narrowed it down to the serving in the Military. The student loans have to be repaid. There have already been tax payer dollars spent teaching them English so they can graduate from our schools. If they would take care of the illegal immigration problem, we wouldn't even need anything passed like this. But would it be that much different than granting freedom to Black Slaves who fought in the Revolution War in place of their Masters?

Nor would it be much different than all the Irishmen who instantly becames citizens for joining the northern army as soon as they got off the boat during the Civil War. My opinion, let them stay here, IF they fight for us!
