SenatorReid I will move the DREAM Act as a standalone bill in the lame duck. It's good for the economy & Pentagon says good for natl security.

Is it crazy speculation to think this is him keeping a promise he made a few weeks ago during that oh-so-close, election?

Because keeping their promises is something we would never want our elected officials to do, right?

Is it crazy to speculate that the GOP Senators going on record uniformly opposing the bill might make their 2012 runs a bit tighter seeing that they'll be hammered by the Latino community? Sen Reid is both keeping a promise and actually doing something that's good politics for the Democrats. That's bad news for you, I get it. Me, I want to see much more of it.

It's funny coming from a guy (Ried) who used to be anti-immigration and made impassioned speeches against "anchor-babies" and the lot is now bringing this forward.

I do break with my fellow conservatives on this one and actually do support the DREAM Act. I hope it passes.

I support amnesty for all with a $10,000 per head debt to be taken out of the new citizens pay checks over a period of 10 to 15 years with interest. In meantime secure borders and any future illegals get caught trespassing ship them overseas to dropoff locations including Africa, the middle east, Antarctica, Asia, etc., chosen at random for each deportation.

At least this time Dingy Harry is putting it forward as a stand-alone Bill and not trying to piggyback on another, wholly unrelated piece of legislation, the way he did a couple of months back.

Only way I would support something like this is if it was accompanied by a mandate for e-verify. All employers, regardless of size or scope must use it to verify their employee's or face prohibitively large fines.
