 Dream Act Is Dead for This YearPosted on Dec 18, 2010
The U.S. Senate has failed us again. On a 55-41 vote, the proposed Dream Act, an immigration reform measure aimed at paving the way to citizenship for undocumented students who attend college, has effectively been killed for this year. The bill fell short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Five Democrats broke ranks to vote against the bill, including Sens. Max Baucus and Kay Hagan. —JCL

Wahahahahahaaa! Who cares if illegal hispanics are mad the scheme act didn’t pass, THEY AREN’T VOTERS!
Let the hispanic groups that think certain people are above the law throw their fit, they do every time the Scheme Act fails, the whine, they cry, they claim they’ll get even in the next election, they get righteously indignant, lather, rinse, repeat.
8% of the electorate isn’t a threat, wasn’t last year, or the year before, and it won’t be next year! Besides, the people we’re talking about CAN’T VOTE so they have no business lobbying our lawmakers for anything! This little game is over, we’re a nation of laws, and nobody is above any of them (unless you’re a congressman or senator (LOL)).
Report thisIn the meantime, the rest of us will be watching which Americans think CRIMINALS deserve amnesty for their crimes, and there WILL be boycotts. Enjoy! ;0)

Another way to look at it is that the Pentagon has been denied more canon fodder. The other side no one mentions is that the offer is either to go to college or join the army, most Hispanics don’t go to college, the majority will no doubt choose the military.

The “Dream Act” is Pentagon servicing resource war recruitment legislation.
The Democrats are earnestly offering up immigrants to kill and be killed in the wars that liberal “progressives” keep voting for, but don’t want to fight in themselves.
The NY Times reported “Supporters said they were heartened that the measure won the backing of a majority of the Senate.”
Remove the military option (for body bags to be filled with brown bodies) and then see if you can get that majority 55-41 Senate vote.
Democrats can’t doing anything that isn’t deceitful.

I understand the opposing views, and I myself believe some of them are exactly why this law shouldn’t pass. But the scale definitely is unbalanced when it comes to reasoning logically. Passing the DREAM Act would’ve undoubtedly been the best option to help out out immigration system and help somewhat secure the borders.
I know this loss is hard for many who were hoping to pass. But, if we look at it on the bright side for them, they will come stronger than ever, which will be the downfall for those who voted not to pass the DREAM Act.

Will the Dims be too dumb to realize that now 95% of all Hispanic voters hate the Republicans with a passion? Or will they f*** this chance up, too?
