DREAM A Little Nightmare For Me….

UPDATE: Cloture fails 52-44. DREAM is dead again.

Harry Reid and his pals, especially Dick Durbin (who was once my Senator and who was the most useless elected official I ever dealt with) are pushing to invoke cloture on the DREAM Act. DREAM, which stands for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, is nothing more than an amnesty for people who are here illegally. Estimates on how many people would get a green card out of this range from 1 to over 2 million. That is only the direct ones - there would be additional ones as well.

the Migration Policy Institute has estimated that 360,000 illegals would get amnesty right away, with another 715,000 benefiting in the future, for a total of over 1 million amnestied. Using a different data source, we looked at the same question and estimated that the total number of potential beneficiaries of the amnesty is 2.1 million. What's more, there are another 1.4 million parents and young siblings of the under-18 amnesty recipients who do not themselves qualify for the amnesty, but whom the government is likely to let stay once their family members get legalized. (Ed. Note: CIS study is here.)

The people pushing for DREAM are trying to target the following list of Senators. I have already called my Senators - both of them - and registered my objections to this sneak amnesty. Have you called you Senators?
