		<description>No Dream Act, No Free Entry for illegal aliens no matter what there reason is.  They snuck into our country, took our SS, Healthcare, Food Stamps, Housing and you want to give them amnesty?  Osama H Obama really have you guys fooled.  The only reason he wants to push the Dream Act through is for him to hopefully use all these illegals to his advantage, they would vote for him and a vote for Obama is a vote for our end.  The illegals will overrun this country, take control and take all our rights away from us.  This has to be stopped before they ruin our country.  They have free loaded off us long enough.  Time togo home and live where you came from, no ifs, ands, or butts.  The fresh talen you are talking about will lower wages, standard of living, raise violent crimes.  No to the Dream Act, no to their amnesty.  Make them earn it like anybody else would have to do</description>

		<description>Dream Act seems to make the most sense at this point for beginning the conversation on Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Even at a time of economic crisis, legalizing talented high skilled immigrant youth will bring an impetus of fresh talent to the workforce</description>

		<description>Obama is a very effective politician. Depending on his audience, he supports comprehensive immigration reform. But it is important to remember that no one advocated for C.I.R. more than George W. Bush---eight consecutive years---and he was defeated at every turn. And this was during a booming economy&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Angela Kelly can say whatever she pleases but the reality is that C.I.R. doesn&#039;t have the votes. Sure, Congress is controlled by Democrats. But many are opposed to C.I.R.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And in 2010, 36 Senate seats are up for election. Those who want to win their races will approach C.I.R. with enormous caution. Voter, remember, must be citizens---and even Hispanic citizens oppose C.I.R.</description>

		<description>&quot;At at time when the U.S. unemployment rate has reached 8.5 percent — the worst it’s been in decades — the restrictionist message holds some potency.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The fact is that the huge levels of unemployment was never created by Undocumented workers. The people who are working in the shadows without papers are still holding their lowskilled jobs in the fields and backyards and toilet cleaners, floor cleaners, dishwashers and butchers etc,.. and are keeping the economy functioning. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Those who claim that bringing these people out from the shadows will cause more job losses is purely asinine!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And the major fact is we must scrutinize where these talking points are coming from? NUMBERSUSA, VDARE, Mark Krikorian, Rush, Sean and the other in the fringe of the GOP. The very same set of people who have caused GOP to become a minority party. if their arguments were so strong why did all the immigrant bashing representative and Senators lose their seats to more moderate house and senate democrats? Remember 2006 and 2008? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fear mongering is the only straw these groups have to advance their racist agenda. We need not give any mileage to these fringe minority extremist groups and their talk show hosts!</description>
