DREAM Act Debate-Cloture Vote Underway Not Yet On Vote
— DrewM

Update: Allah points out they are voting on something else at the moment.

Update 2: Harry Reid just said he needs to wait until House votes on their version of the DREAM Act and that won't be for a few hours.

Dick Durbin is going on about how great all these illegals are. He's actually holding up a huge picture of an illegal immigrant, using his name, talking about where he goes to school. Now he says there are a bunch of illegal immigrant kids walking the halls of Congress on behalf of this bill What about those shadows they are supposed to be living in?

I think in Durbin's mind, only illegal immigrants do anything worth while like be named class valedictorian or something.

The GOP said they won't vote on anything until the tax deal and budget is passed.

Put up or shut time.

Vote about to start.

Funny how the day after Obama goes after the lefty base, the DREAM Act and DADT repeal come up? It's almost as if Nancy and Harry want to make sure the base knows who loves them.

And it's that illegal aliens will start being treated as such and removed to their countries of origin forthwith.

How wonderful is it for our very own Dick Turban to be encouraging illegals instead of having them deported on the spot, you know, like his oath of office compels him to.

That POS should be arrested. Or at least called out on the floor to explain his actions and his failure to enforce the law.

o-sure , here  I am whining on the last thread about why aren't we discussing the Dream Act Vote, and damn here it is.   hangs head in shame.

Drew, why would they say they wouldn't vote for this without having a vote for taxes? does that mean they might bend on Dream if they get Tax Vote as they desire?

Posted by: willow's sick of it all at December 08, 2010 12:23 PM (h+qn8)

The sad fact is there are far too many RINOs who would jump for a chance to vote for DREAM.  Even better they could vote for cloture, and then vote "nay."  They'd still get their pet legislation, and they could claim to have voted against it.

Before the health care monstrosity went through, I'd have thought the Dems were spinning their wheels.  Now, I'm afraid you might get enough squishy Senators who are either recently re-elected, lame ducks, or not up until 2014 to vote in favor of this idiocy.

Copy that.  Murkowski has no reason to vote with Republicans, and Juan McCain just won re-election and so is untouchable for 6 years.  That's the only two Dems would need.

33 Give us our housekeepers and gardeners at slave wages!

Was slavery really so bad, I mean, really?  They did all the work that I'm not willing to do, that's for sure.

We'll complain about the exploitation of poor people overseas because we want to exploit them here.

Just make sure those dirty peasants don't actually live near me.

34 Dick Turban must've missed Michelle Malkin's searing article published the last go-'round of the amnesty bill.  Messicans don't put too much stock in education.  The stats were staggering.  Completion of 7th grade -- let alone high school -- among these folks was considered a stellar achievement.  They also have a higher out-of-wedlock birth rate than blacks.  Just what we need.

Has Durbin repeated their favorite lie, yet?

That is, "this is good for the economy."

"It will create jobs."

"It will lower the deficit."

"Giving driver's licenses to illegals will make the roads safer."

Couldn't get past the 1st paragraph.  I'm really tired of the "Americans oppose tax cuts for the rich" line.  First, I doubt their information comes from any poll that was conducted ethically.  Second, most Americans would change their tune if they realized "the rich" was the Mechanic down the street, or their neighbor the CPA.

How about leaning hard on Mexico? If we can fight half way around the world for freedom and peace, why not our neighbor on the border? hell all you would have to do is toss 5 families of rulers
