Harry Reid’s Illegal Alien Student Bailout

This is the second time we've reported on this story in the past week or so. And it's not just our president whos hell bent on destroying this country there also some very highly placed democrats that are pushing their own personal agenda on the people of this country. With Sentor Herry Reid a democratic sentor from Nevada who is trying to sneak his financial aid for illegal aliens bill past as part of a larger bill currently before the senate at this time. The following is an excerpt from a CNSNews.Com article published Friday September 17th. The so-called DREAM Act would create an official path to Democratic voter registration for an estimated two million college-age illegal aliens. Look past the public relations-savvy stories of “undocumented” valedictorians left out in the cold. This is not about protecting “children.” It’s about preserving electoral power through cap-and-gown amnesty.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced this week that he’s attaching the DREAM Act to the defense authorization bill. With ethnic activists breathing down his neck and President Obama pushing to fulfill his campaign promise to Hispanics, Reid wants his queasy colleagues to vote on the legislation next week.
Open-borders lawmakers have tried and failed to pass the DREAM Act through regular channels for the past decade. That’s because informed voters know giving green cards to illegal alien students undermines the rule of law, creates more illegal immigration incentives and grants preferential treatment to illegal alien students over law-abiding native and naturalized American students struggling to get an education in tough economic times. This bad idea is compounded by a companion proposal to recruit more illegal aliens into the military with the lure of citizenship (a fraud-ridden and reckless practice countenanced under the Bush administration).DREAM Act lobbyists are spotlighting heart-wrenching stories of high-achieving teens brought to this country when they were toddlers. But instead of arguing for case-by-case dispensations, the protesters want blanket pardons.
The broadly drafted Senate bill would confer benefits on applicants up to age 35, and the House bill contains no age ceiling at all. The academic achievement requirements are minimal. Moreover, illegal aliens who didn’t arrive in the country until they turned 15 -- after they laid down significant roots in their home country—would be eligible for DREAM Act benefits and eventual U.S. citizenship. And like past amnesty packages, the Democratic plan is devoid of any concrete eligibility and enforcement mechanisms to deter already-rampant immigration benefit fraud.This article was provided by CNSNews.Com to read the entire article please Click Here. We at Americans Under Siege are all college students and feel that this bill will only allow illegal immigrants to over burden an already over taxed public college system making it harder on individuals like ourselves to get a education that we deserve as taxpaying citizens of this country.
