Is it OK...

The "dream act" was passed by Nancy Pelosi and a 2010 democrat congress- the same congress that rammed through the health care bill without reading it.

It failed in the Senate.

Senate majority leader Harry Reid on Thursday backed off from a bill that would grant hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants a path to citizenship if they enroll in higher education or enter military service. Reid failed to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican opposition.

It would not stand a chance in hell of passing in today's congress- or in the senate.

It's OK to ram this through a presidental order like Obama is doing, as long as the USA is a dictatorship- but we are not a dictatorship- even though Obama thinks it is.

This bill has already been considered- and it was rejected back in 2010.

Romney’s Dream Act Response Highlights Political Peril

Mitt Romney faced a Catch-22 in President Barack Obama’s high-profile roll-out of a regulatory version of the Dream Act last Friday. The presumptive GOP presidential candidate crafted a careful response, but not a particularly compelling one.

The first instinct of any politician in a tight race would be to attack his opponent. But if Romney opposed Obama’s move to abandon deportation and prosecution of some young illegal immigrants he could enrage Latinos. Those voters may be the key to victory in southwestern and mountain states, and thus to overall electoral college victory in November’s election.

On the other hand, Romney could hardly embrace Obama’s new policy without cost. If did he would alienate the nativist base of the GOP already sensitive to the idea that with the nomination secure he will abandon the right and run for the center. Most of the primary season was spent assessing just how damaging a Romney candidacy would be to GOP turnout in November.

Anyone catch the story this morning, latino emigration to the US is down and asian immigration is passing it up. Both legal and illegal.

So the Know-nothings will now have to worry about the yellow instead of the brown, and instead of them taking our blue collar jobs, they will be keeping "whitey" out of college.

I know several europeans here illegally....

They are chinese
They are Laostion.
They are Brasilian.
They are Indian.
They are filipino.

And they all have one thing in common- they didn't ask permission to stay here.

Half a Billion Chinese would love to come here- over a BILLION when you count Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, Philippines etc....

Are all you Liberals ready for that kind of standard of living for your children? There's a reason why we have a limit to how many immigrants we allow here legally- and why at times- we allow more- and at times- we allow less.

Right now our economy can not support them- we can't even provide jobs for Americans, there are 30 million of us out of work or under employed.

It's not just the mexicans,

I would actually increase legal immigration. Studies show they tend to create jobs by opening small businesses instead of taking jobs.
Many countries recruit entrepeneurs offering them residency for their ideas and innovations. The US could learn a lesson from that.
