President Barack Obama was quoted as being “Incredibly disappointed” today when Senate Republicans blocked a bill to grant certain illegal immigrants a chance to clench legal status.
The Dream Act failed to pass this morning. The measure was five votes short of the sixty needed to pass. It is actually quite amazing that this piece of legislation was not enacted, considering our Congress is in its advantageous Lame duck session, in which numbers are significantly more favorable now for liberal ideas than they will be in January when our newly elected officials are sworn in.
The Dream Act, in simple terms, is an opportunity for illegal aliens between the ages of twelve and thirty-five to earn amnesty and citizenship by enrolling in college or joining the military. This will give you all of the details of the proposed bill, but here is what I read between the lines:
First, this is a step, one of many to come in the next two years, towards legalizing and making voters out of the millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that we tolerate in America, fortifying an immense, untapped voting base for Democrats and their ideas. The second thought that comes to mind is this---once the illegal alien, between the age of twelve and thirty-five, files his paperwork, can we deport his parents back to the country they came from, or maybe naturalize them with the incredibly obvious contingency that they become classified and proud citizens of the United States of America? Third, in order to pull this off, it will require money…taxpayer money, which illegal immigrants do not pay. It is not naïve to assume that the majority of illegal aliens in this country more than likely do not have a college fund for their children or a nest egg for their futures. This legislation would fund, in the form of scholarships, educations for people in this country who are flagrantly breaking the law by simply being here. And our government wants to pay for these people to succeed when so many of us legally and proudly live in this country and work as hard as we can every day to succeed and provide for our families. I’m still paying off student loans and our president is proposing to fund illegal aliens to get a free ride?
For the amount of common sense that resonates in not passing this bill, it is still surprising that our liberally favored Senate ultimately said “No”. His counterparts did not even back this bill, at least enough of them to stop it. It is a sign of the times and the power of the people. Obama’s presidency has been the catalyst for the biggest awakening of concern in American voters in a long time.
