More About: ImmigrationHouse passes Dream Act, BUT!
Last
night, the House of Representatives voted to legalize illegality by passing the
Scam Act, er, Dream Act. This poorly
written, fraudulently driven and utterly in favor of encouraging relentless
illegal immigration—passed by a squeaker.
Roy
Beck of www.NumbersUSA.org summed it
up. Give us an idea of what we face Mr.
Beck:
“For
two years, we have heard that if House Speaker Pelosi allowed a vote on the
DREAM Act amnesty that it would sail through her 60% majority chamber,” said
Roy. “But tonight while pulling out all
the emotional stops, the House Democratic leadership lost 38 of its Members
(who voted NO) and managed to narrowly pass the DREAM Act amnesty with only 52%
of the vote.
“Of
course, that was enough. The House only needs 50% plus one vote to pass
anything. But the Senate Thursday will have to have 60% of its members
approve the amnesty for the President to sign it into law. We don't
believe there are 60 Senators willing to do this during this time of sustained
high unemployment.
“Thus,
the House vote tonight represented the high-water mark -- and ultimately
the failed end -- of a 10-year campaign to pass this loophole-filled, fraud-prone,
overly-broad amnesty that lacks any enforcement against future illegal
immigration.
“The
reason Pelosi wouldn't allow a vote on the DREAM amnesty earlier was the fear
that it would take care of the most attractive and heart-tugging examples of
illegal aliens and make it impossible to pass a blanket amnesty for all illegal
aliens later. It was always assumed that with the Democrats controlling
60% of the Senate and 60% of the House at the beginning of this Congress that
the DREAM amnesty would have little trouble passing both chambers.
“Yet
tonight, the bill really just scraped through, and we hopefully will see
it buried for many years to come Thursday in the Senate. Tonight
marks the first time in 10 years that the DREAM amnesty has actually passed a
chamber of Congress. That makes this a high-water mark.
“But
if DREAM can't get through all of Congress with the bill's most passionate
backers leading a Party that has one of the largest majorities in
history -- while virtually every national elite has been supporting it and
while foundations have poured tens of millions of dollars into passing it
-- what kind of chance does it have for passage in the future?
“And
if the easiest most attractive amnesty that the open-borders forces could
devise can't get through THIS Congress, when can any amnesty get through
any Congress in the future?
“Maybe several
amazing deals will be struck before tomorrow morning and the Senate will shock
me and disappoint the nation by passing the DREAM amnesty. But my guess
is that the victorious smile Speaker Pelosi wore as she grabbed the gavel and
declared an amnesty victory “tonight amid great applause was the bittersweet
smile of a victory that will mean nothing. At least, I hope so.”
20 House Members Failed To Vote
“The
usual 218 vote majority was not needed tonight because 20 Representatives
failed to show up to vote: DEMOCRATS: Berry (Ark.), Cohen (Tenn.), Delahunt
(Mass.), Kilpatrick (Mich.), Marshall (Ga.), Mollohan (W.Va.), Schiff (Calif.)
and Wu (Oregon)
REPUBLICANS:
Bilbray (Calif.), Blunt (Mo.) Buyer (Ind.), Fallin (Okla.), Gingrey (Ga.),
Granger (Texas), Griffith (Ala.), Marchant (Texas), McMorris Rodgers (Wash.),
Radanovich (Calif.) and Stutzman (Ind.)
“It
is doubtful that these absences affected the final outcome.”
8 REPUBLICANS Broke With Their Party Leadership And
Voted
FOR The Amnesty
“Our
chances to defeat the amnesty were sunk with the defection of these 8
Republicans in favor of amnesty:
DELAWARE
- Castle
FLORIDA - L. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - M. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - Ros-Lehtinen
HAWAII - Djou
LOUISIANA - Cao
MICHIGAN - Ehlers
SOUTH CAROLINA - Inglis
FLORIDA - L. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - M. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - Ros-Lehtinen
HAWAII - Djou
LOUISIANA - Cao
MICHIGAN - Ehlers
SOUTH CAROLINA - Inglis
38 DEMOCRATS Broke With Their Party Leadership And Voted
AGAINST Amnesty
“We
almost did as well with Democrats as I had hoped. I had always said we needed
at least 42 Democrats to vote for unemployed Americans and against the amnesty,
although I felt 45 probably was needed. Because of so many Republican
defections, we actually needed more.
“These
were both re-elected Democrats and Democrats who were defeated, all of whom
went against incredibly emotional appeals from their Party's top leaders in
floor speeches tonight.
“It
is quite rare for a Speaker of the House to go to the floor and make a speech.
But Speaker Pelosi made it clear that passing this amnesty is one of the
dearest things to her heart in an impassioned speech that seemed to laud as a
hero every citizen of another country who is courageous enough to break our
immigration laws.
“No matter what you may think about the rest of the politics
of these Members, I hope those of you in their states will give them major pats
on the back for taking this stand. Congressional
Switchboard: 202-224-3121
“Notice how they are from all over the country. Special
thanks to all of you Pennsylvanians who outdid yourself with 7 Democrats voting
NO.
“And how often do you New Yorkers have something to be proud
about when it comes to immigration voting? But you did well tonight. So did
those of you from Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina.
“I'm especially proud of all the Democrats who lost their
seats in the November elections and still voted against their Party leaders and
against the amnesty tonight.
“Most Senate voicemail boxes are full. So, you won't be able
to leave messages. You need to start calling after 7 a.m. EST Thursday for a
last chance to affect the outcome.

Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG,
graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of
unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future
generations: in a word “Mind boggling!” www.NumbersUSA.org
If any of us, no matter what our race, creed or color might
be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have not for 30 years as to the
population/immigration equation-our children will find themselves living in a
terribly degraded America where the American Dream will be described by the
history books as a 'fleeting fantasy' from the era of 1950 to 2010.
