ORIGINAL: truckinslave Has Dingy Harry lost his mind, or is he waving the white flag?? He just added the DREAM Act to a defense appropriations bill. Talk about out of touch and tone deaf. This crowd is determined to govern against the will of the American people, and they have 7 more weeks to do so. Story here Have any of you actually read the DREAM Act? Part of it, states (and paraphrasing it), that an illegal immigrant that serves in the US Military and discharged with an honorable discharge, becomes a US Citizen. So yes, that part could easily be understood why its included in a defense bill. The orgins of this Act, are a rehashing of Student Adjustment Act, of 2001 (a Republican controlled House, as its H.R. 1918). But do read the wikipedia link, as I find that rather agreeable. Someone serves out their 'time', by paying a US institution of higher learning student fee's & books, gets a degree, and lives here in the USA. Or, we can up the entry requirements for the US Military to a pre-2002 level for soldiers (so we dont have quite a many 1st-3rd time offenders). Either way, the person benefits the USA. Spare me the racist crap, and just explain to me, why this isn't a good idea? To have this Act passed? Joether, the U.S. has been giving U.S. Citizenship to foreign nationals who are willing to serve in our military for 50 years or so, WAY before this "Dream Act" was a twinkle in Harry the Hat's eye. Those are two seperate issues! Obviously they included this in "The Dream Act" to try to make it more,..."palatable." When the "Dream Act" fails to pass we'll *still* be giving U.S. Citizenship to foreign nationals who are willing to serve in our military. Harry the Hat just handed Angle the election.
