WASHINGTON DC (SR) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he will add the DREAM Act, a highly unpopular and controversial immigration measure offering citizenship to some illegal immigrants, to an upcoming defense policy bill.
DREAM is an acronym for Don’t Remove Ethnic Alien Morons.
Reid, who is fighting for his political life, called the DREAM Act “really important, especially for those illegal aliens of voting age living in Nevada.”
Reid made the announcement at a Washington DC lowrider convention.
My comments: This is the kind of stuff we’re not going to miss much when you’re out of office, you miserable self-serving pinhead!

Senator Dick is worst than Harry when it comes to their Dream bill. Last Wednesday while speaking on the Small business Fund Act of 2010, Senator * (Durbin) basically said student loan defaults tells why our economy is so bad..
Low-income students don’t know any better. They are signing up for courses with promises that can’t be kept. I went to the Web site of Roosevelt University, an established college in Chicago, to look up some information, and I was bombarded with ads from these for-profit schools. I called the President of the school and said: Chuck, have you looked at your own Web site? You can’t find Roosevelt on there. There’s Argosy and Corinthian and all these things thrown at you. Imagine a young person who is trying to decide where to go to school.
It is time to look at risk sharing when it comes to student loans. These for-profit colleges ought to be on the hook. If they are going to lure young people into debts they can’t pay, they ought to have some skin in the game and say: If there is going to be a default, we are going to pay a price too. Secondly, I am sick and tired of these schools that are not accredited and are being given money for Federal student loans. If your school is not accredited and if your hours cannot transfer to another school, you should not receive Federal loans. Students should not have to go through a research investigation to decide whether a school is accredited.
Today, school officials are working with incentives, incidentally, that push companies to bring in the highest volume of financial aid, which means they will sign up anybody who can qualify. They don’t care if you can read or write. Literally, they will put you on as one of their students earning a baccalaureate degree, and they will get the money from the Federal Government. Incidentally, they complained recently because we capped how much Federal money a for-profit college can receive of their revenues at 90 percent–and they complained. Colleges that have burdened students with this debt, without giving them the skills and credentials, should share a piece of this default risk. Maybe then the colleges would focus less on bringing in as many students as possible, at the highest tuition as possible, and focus more on preparing students to succeed. We need to seriously consider this risk sharing, as well as other ideas to bring student loan debt defaults under control. I look forward to working with my colleagues.
Look at your own States. For those of us who have voted reflexively for Federal student loan increases and Pell grants, the party is over. I will not stand by and watch billions in taxpayers’ money funneled into for-profit schools that heap debt on the students and fail to give them the training and degree they need to succeed in life. It is time to bring this to an end.

Then Thursday, the very next day yet, Liberal Senator * (Durbin) on the Dream Act
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/program/I … &end=15808
While Senator * obviously knows what our own children in poverty are facing, he wants to make it harder on us as he would be adding many millions of older poor (fifth grade educated) low income illegal’s (parents and siblings’ of Dream Act recipients) to our welfare system, housing, medical care, and social security, and job market. Senator * asks how we can turn our backs on the many, many children of illegal aliens. Well how about our own children? Look at the number of students which graduated high school between 2006 and 2009 from anywhere USA high schools which still cannot get grants or loans to attend the cheapest of local colleges, many of whom are also unemployed, poor, and need healthcare. There are many legal citizen children of all races who deserve to attend local colleges nationwide.
