Dream Act looks like a nightmare

As you know, last year, amnesty supporters in Congress re-introduced the so-called Dream Act, a sweeping amnesty bill that will reward millions of illegal aliens who meet certain minimal educational requirements with amnesty, tuition breaks and other taxpayer funded benefits. This bill would also give a powerful incentive for millions of others to illegally cross our borders.

And as we enter this critical election year, I’m deeply concerned some politicians may decide to pander to the powerful pro-illegal alien lobby and resort to procedural tricks to quietly pass this harmful bill — and go against the will of the majority of Americans.

Congress will soon bring up the Dream Act for another vote, but I call the Dream Act the Nightmare Act. This bill would cost taxpayers $6.2 billion the first year and would increase every year, according to American Immigration Control.

Tell our senators and representatives, “No way!”
