4 billion illegals makes us legals uot numbered 9 to 1

It is not a good idea to separate DREAM Act from CIR.

I believe it is a typo. It was meant to say 4 million.

I absolutely agree. I'm in support of the DREAM act but if they are added why not the UAFA bill that has over 100 co sponsors already? Pass the CIR, don't break up the bill or it will never get done.

Please discuss the visa backlog problem with the Dream Act bill. Just needed to increase the number of visas availability and fix the system so the business can still bring foreign to work here.

Let's concentrate on getting our unemployed back to work. How receptive will the legal American citizens and members of congress be when there are so many losing their homes and out of work for such a long time. They need to crack down on employers who are employing the illegals and stop the flow of money that is being sent back to Mexico. This is not a good time to be bringing this up…. period.

Paragraph 4: “There are 4 billion U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants”, really ? i knew there were many of them but come on !!! i think you're pushing it a tiny bit ! :)

Yes, there are 4 million children. Most of them are from the mixed status families.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FIGHTING FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM. I AM A 32/WHITE MALE! WE NEED THIS PASSED! YOUR REWARD WILL BE IN HEAVEN, FOR THOSE FIGHTING FOR IT. WANT TO GET INVOLVED GO HERE http://WWW.REFORMIMMIGRATIONFORAMERICA.org! Fight for the less fortunate, the time is now!

US needs educated skilled workers who speak English. Not unskilled people, not parents who need kidney transplants and bypass surgery, not people who don't speak English and won't earn enough money to pay federal income tax. In case you haven't noticed, we have already given away so much money we are circling the drain like Greece and Spain! If you want to find a rich nation to take advantage of and dump your social problems on, try to persuade the Singaporeans or the Swiss to take you on–and good luck with that one. They are too smart for that–which is why their economies are booming.

Using all-caps does not help mark you as a smart or internet-savvy person you moron.

Dream Act thrown on a defense bill how am I not surprised. Good to see this article covers that, oh wait it doesn't. Does anyone not see a problem with this? How is it that I am a American and I have to follow all the laws, but illegals get a free pass? This country is really headed into the wrong direction, and I am getting really worried for my kids.

ALL PRO-AMNESTY INCUMBENTS MUST GO IN NOVEMBER.

Scrutinize the growing list of Democrats falling along the wayside, as more and more Tea Party candidates take their place. This is a non-violent revolution that displays the people have the–REAL–power. Not the Republican elites, not the Liberal progressives, but just the average voter. But it’s not over, until it’s–OVER? We must take back our government, the trite fellowship of politicians who have sought to undermine the values of our constitution. The issues are many that needs a new direction, beginning with today’s push by leading Democrat Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who is trying to influence the a major minority vote in attaching a bill, to the War appropriation bill. This is a sad state of affairs when Reid, Menendez of New Jersey, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) have the unrivaled audacity to promote the illegal immigration ticket, when our kids cannot get into college, because of the sky-high costs. But not only that, to push this attachment bill, otherwise our troops don't get the necessary financial backing. This is really a sick manifestation on behalf of the Democrats-to get votes. This bill gives life to the “Dream Act.” Don’t let Reid use your good nature to force along this measure, which will further cripple our economy. Reid nearly obliterated E-Verify, a business computer program that identifies illegal workers.

Reid is a ruthless power monger that has crippled Nevada’s financial status, with the highest unemployment rate. Reid and his retinue have refused to implement any restrictions on millions of illegal aliens squatting there, taking jobs and lowering wages and benefits. He is likely under the thumb of the service and entertainment unions, who are using illegal labor? This illegal alien occupation is destabilizing our country, caused by both parties through many previous years of doing nothing. The propaganda for DREAM ACT is false and deceptive. This amnesty is NOT limited to high school valedictorians or other high-achieving college students, who were brought to the U.S. illegally when they were babies. It is yet another terrible strain on taxes, caused by yet another part of the “Instant citizenship” syndrome that effects public benefits and alienates many of our own impoverished Americans.

This Path to citizenship is not limited to a few College grad’s but an amnesty that includes illegal aliens up to age 35! And the illegal families homesteading arrival can even incorporate children as late as age 15! This bill is a giant fraudulent loophole that nationals can claim an amnesty without providing proof of meeting certain criteria. Even the faction of the DREAM ACT amnesty divulges that around 2.1 million people could be eligible. This amnesty has no restriction procedures at all as it still allows businesses to persist in hiring illegal aliens. Further—it temps millions more parents to fetch their children here illegally and stay long enough for them to become high school students and demand another amnesty in a few years.

If this bill is passed it leaves intact the “chain migration system” that will permit these 2.1 million illegal aliens, to eventually send for millions more relatives. The ominous DREAM ACT leaves intact the chain migration system that will allow these 2.1 million illegal aliens to ultimately send for millions more relatives. In quick succession, the legitimized illegal aliens would be able to get green cards for their parents. In the future millions of additional relatives would be able to start planning their applications and getting in line. This starts with adult siblings and moves on to aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. A large percentage of the illegal aliens in the U.S. today are extended family members of the illegal aliens who got amnesty in 1986 and also those in the six more-limited amnesties throughout the 1990s.

Vent your anger on the phone lines to Washington and your Senator and Congressman at 202-224-3121. Join millions of other Americans and freely email, fax or you can aid in stopping the corruption in the Capitol. NumbersUSA has all the tools to return this country to THE PEOPLE. Be aware that illegal households may try and vote for Reid in November as our voting system is easily compromised.

I don't think that only DREAM act should pass this year! We need comprehensive immigration reform! The dream act will not solve the problems of those who are here already and have family members that are US citizens or permanent residents. Those people must get path to citizenship now. The dream act should be voted on as a part of the comprehensive immigration reform!

The entire Dream Act should be scrapped as nothing more than another Give Me. I don't have to earn it just give.me.I don't want to work for it. Just give me.

Instead we should focus on earn it. Let's address the Military side.We allow young 18 to 30 men and women who are illegal to voluntarily join CATCH you will be given background, drug test fail and you are deported. Basic will be extended to 18 months Basic remaining time schooled in English language ( lots of things around Post to fill in time) Fail to master set command of English you Fail CATCH Fail you are deported. Term of enlistment 10 years.during this time your family(wife children only) will be given a green card, also given all privileges given to family of serving military. Serve Honorable upon discharge you are a CITIZEN as is your family or reup at 10 years you are a CITIZEN as is your family CATCH be discharged for anything less than Honorable you are deported. (Note deportation also includes family) I do realize that this will not create a large number I believe at least a few thousand But the ones it does WORKED for it. Not give me.

Addressing Civil Service:(this one may create firestorm) Or southern Borders need to be beefed up. We open this up to again 18 to 30 men woman etc. all deportation's same.Green card etc.But they will receive a basic training Their pay will be about 2/3 of the Border Officer. After basic CATCH fail deported etc.They will be unarmed. They will be attached to a Border Officer. This will double the eyes on the Border at a rather low price tag.CATCH poor job performance resulting in termination deported. Time of Service 8 years . After 8years same as above.

There is not a single give me. Everyone of these people who come forward are people willing to work and work hard for their chance to be a CITIZEN

given away money? Well, you should be mad at Bush for starting 2 wars than, not immigrants! Immigrants pay taxes and SS (at least some of them) and contribute to this country. I agree that those people before becoming citizens should speak English, but in order to get skilled, well educated people we need to fix our immigration laws.

and what?

I agree!

are you insane? 4 billion? Really? There are almost 7 billion people on Earth, are you saying that most of them are illegal on this planet?

The bottom line here is that the DREAM Act lets illegal aliens take college educations away from Americans. Anyone who votes for it is putting the interests of foreign citizens ahead of U.S. citizens.

One major complication in blocking it is the ascendancy of the teapartiers. Due to various factors – including being led around by DC hacks – they ignored immigration for over a year and they're largely ignoring the DA now. That's despite at how effective it could be at discrediting Reid. To them, saving a few dollars on their taxes is more important than preventing a bill that could give amnesty to hundreds of thousands or more.

Numbers USA is a hate group run by a white supremist. You really think they aren't enormously biased when talking about immigrants?

Illegal young adult here.

It is interesting to see many illegal youth not being able to fend for themselves, for they do not know the higher governing systems of this country. It is scary to see people who are deciding my life,some claiming I deserve this while others saying I am just illegal. Let me tell you something… If this Dream Act does pass, you're going to see many of these people joining the military, because it is in our blood. We were not raised like your children were, spoiled, we were dominated and disciplined by hardship and poverty. We have the passion and loyalty and you would not pay for our college, we would pay you for our k-12. Even in politics my illegal youth friends seem to be moderate. But the majority cannot find the correct terms of wording to defend themselves. I am one of the few lucky who figured out the scheme that is a government. I dislike illegals feeding from their US born babies, they do not know suffering, I do. Have kindness when deciding my life. Thank you for your moment in this space and time.
ism3x the illegal American.

I agree that we cannot afford these idiotic wars of Bush's.

We can fix our immigration laws without legalizing a lot of completely unskilled people who chose to break our laws. (The fact they are poor is no excuse.) No reason to legalize lawbreakers lacking in skills. They will eventually go home as we slowly press employers to stop hiring illegals.

As for immigrants paying taxes, the fact is that 40% of people pay no federal income tax–so you can be sure that hardly any uneducated immigrants are going to be paying federal income taxes. They are a pure drain on the rest of us.

Dream on, Amy. The people are rising up now, and they have no patience with illegals and no interest in amnestying them. Time for the illegals to go home. They knowingly broke our laws. Being poor doesn't give you a right to break the laws.

Hello 24aheaddotcom it is not taking away anybody's chance to study. People are just not educated enough to realize this is necessary. Yes it might raise the bar for colleges, but that is not a bad thing. Everybody will have to try harder and in doing so people will put more effort into their education. So please open your eyes and see it is not putting illegals before citizens. It is just giving them a fighting chance.

Before you sit there and say that hardly any immigrants pay taxes, get your facts straight. I do taxes and I can assure you plenty of immigrants PAY TAXES and not to mention that some of the money they work minimum wage for they hardly ever see.

Do not fall for the “Dream Act” law.
