Reid adds "Dream Act" to defense bill
Washington (CNN) - Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidAKA Slimey Bastard of the Senate (and that is saying something) said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week. The decision means the defense bill, which often passes with bipartisan support, will be home to two major, thorny political issues -- the other being the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Reid called the DREAM Act "really important" and said it should be passed because it provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military. DREAM is an acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act. Why are Illegal Aliens serving in the Military in the first place?
"And I really, really, really need the 'Hispanic' vote right now so I am pandering to them until November." Many Hispanic voters are angry with Democratic leaders for not doing more to pass an immigration overhaul. The decision by Reid to add the DREAM Act now could help soothe that anger. And Many Hispanic voters are angry that our borders are not secure. But that doesn't fit the narrative. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called Reid's decision "needlessly controversial." The Senate will need 60 votes to take up the bill next week, and Reid said Tuesday he doesn't know if he has enough votes. In short Reid is taking a page out of Obama's book and holding the Defense bill hostage until he gets his Dream act - just like Obama is refusing to honor his oath and defend the nation from invaders until Amnesty gets passed.
