Republicans posing as Democrats blocked the DREAM Act

[DainBramaged]

Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Jon Tester of Montana, Max Baucus of Montana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska voted against bringing the bill to the floor.


Remember those names. People from states where they abuse immigrants as cheap labor voted against the DREAM Act. May their phone lines be forever jammed by angry citizens calling for their downfall in the next election.

1. Sadly, those 5 were all we needed.

2. Kay Hagan even changed her vote from yea to nay

Or at least that's what both mr. frazzle and I independently heard as we watched.

6. Not all Democrats support the DREAM Act..

here's a recent Gallup Poll in which 31% of Democrats oppose it. So, why should it be so surprising that some Democratic senators voted no?

13. You would let illegal aliens gain legality for votes?

Hell why not allow felons to vote and let them out of prison? I will never understand (and I am a democrat) why you people want to allow people that came into this country illegally to gain citizenship. Reward bad behavior and decision with citizenship. Hell if they ignored the proper and legal entry into this country what else would they ignore. Risky behavior. No criminal background checks just give them carte blanche citizenship. Ridiculous.

14. Risky behavior? What exactly do you mean by Risky behavior.

You don't understand what the DREAM act is do you?

16. LOL you're right!

I was wrong. Didn't know it was for young illegals and they would have to enter college or the military. Doh!!! How come I didn't know this through all the internet media holes I visit MSM and many non MSM? It was a great idea!
