Legislation (S 774) labeled the DREAM Act would allow states to provide college benefits to illegal immigrants. This could be offered as an amendment to the fiscal 2008 Defense appropriations bill (HR 3222) later this month. The measure could benefit 1.3 million illegal immigrants.

The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, is part of the stalled package of proposals that many in Congress are seeking to resurrect. The proposal, applicable to an estimated 750,000 undocumented residents of military age, stipulates that those who arrived in the United States before age 16, graduated from high school, and meet other qualifications could immediately enter the path to citizenship in exchange for at least two years' service in the armed forces.

Ron Paul has stated that he wants very strong borders and he was appalled that our government had taken border guards off of our borders to send them to Iraq.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 4 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

i guess this could help the country in the long term. BUT i have cousins in india who would love to live here and go to school and college. however they cannot just illegally jump the fence. everything is expensive and they cannot merely jump a fence. i would hate paying for it. college is so expensive they should reduce the price of colleges for citizens instead of illegals

It will mean that the pool of funds that are limited at best will be award to those who broke our laws, being that most illegals that apply will have little or no reportable income. There are people all over the world are packing up their children getting them ready to come to take advantage of this amnesty.

Answer: Legal citizen, property owners, those that are employed "above" the table whose employers have to match a percentage of the fine...ER Tax that is taken from the worker before that salary is even paid.
That is who will pay even more to the support of illegal invading criminal aliens.

Well, I just emailed my congessman yesterday about opposing the STRIVE (starve) act that would allow unlimited H1-B's and now I have another email to send. I suggest we pull a repeat of June to keep it from passing.

I would vote NO in a heart beat.
WHy should they get college benefits, when there are tons of CITIZENS in the us that cant afford to go to college?
That is just a stupid bill, which I hope never gets passed.

As usual, they will steal my money (via taxes) to reward the criminal actions of others. The US citizen's children's only part of this is to get a job so they can help fund the illegal's education, because it is obviously more important than theirs.
