the DREAM act incentivises illegal immigration and war. who in the world's idea was this?? in 2010

[Dr.3D]

It's coming up for a vote in the House this hour.
Watching on C-SPAN now.

Polis from Colorado was pushing this in congress today. My Apologies from Colorado. How shameful

[Dr.3D]

Sure seems like they are just pushing a lot of votes about crap in a very short time. How is anybody supposed to be educated about any of this stuff if they just have one vote right after another?

I wish they would just wait till next year to vote on some of this stuff.

[Agorism]

It was a bad bill.

[Dr.3D]

It was a bad bill.

Well, it appears it's coming up again for a vote in the house, right now.

If it failed in the Senate, does it matter if the House passes it or not?

[lester1/2jr]

come to the country illegally and stay and help us fight wars that no one wants.

[Dr.3D]

If it failed in the Senate, does it matter if the House passes it or not?

They claim it is the 'new updated' DREAM act, won't it just go back to the Senate again?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

If it failed in the Senate, does it matter if the House passes it or not?

Reid is apparently going to bring it back up for a vote later tonight after the House passes it in hopes their passing it encourages certain Senators to vote for it. :rolleyes:

A recurring nightmare.

[Dr.3D]

If it passes both the House and the Senate, then wouldn't that mean there would soon be millions more Democrats and complete Democrat control of the country?

Yes. Democrats want to legalize millions of democratic voters before 2012 and this week is their last chance before they go on break and the new congress comes in.

Sure is silent in these forums about something that is possibly such a big problem.

There will be a filibuster of this, believe it.

[Dr.3D]

It can't go through the Senate before next year?

[sync]

No way this is gonna pass

It just passed the House thanks to 8 Republicans that voted for it and some that didn't vote at all. I guess we'll see if they try to bring it back up in the Senate again shortly.

[Dr.3D]

HR 5281 "DREAM ACT" passed the house 216 YEA 198 NAY

I don't think it really matters. The Republicans in the Senate have said that they'll filubuster everything until the tax entensions are passed.

Do they have enough to filibuster if it goes back to the Senate this year?

[oyarde]

The Senate should not be able to get 60 votes needed.

[Agorism]

R's need a unified caucus to stop it in the senate.

[Dr.3D]

The Senate should not be able to get 60 votes needed.

Well, I guess only time will tell. Something tells me this crap is going to happen no matter what.

paying illegal immigrants to fight wars that no legal citizens want to fight act
