Reid: ‘We Need The People Of America To Rise Up’ in Favor of Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
And the people of Nevada selected this jerk to continue to represent them? They deserve to lose their jobs and homes. (Ed.)
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is calling on Americans to ‘rise up’ and express how important the DREAM Act is to them.
Reid made the comments at a conference on Wednesday in support of the measure that would allow qualifying illegal aliens obtain legal residence status.
“As was said yesterday (May 10) in El Paso by the president, we need the people of America to rise up and indicate to each of us how important this legislation is,” Reid said.
“I believe that the people in America need to understand that these young men and women who want to be educated, who want to be able to serve the military. It’s good for everybody.”
Senator Reid along with Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) say the Senate will bring the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act to the floor for a vote. The measure previously failed to pass during the lame duck session of the last Congress when both chambers were under Democratic control.
The bill would allow qualifying illegal aliens to obtain legal residence status.
President Barack Obama addressed the previous failure of the DREAM Act and called for it’s future passage during his speech on immigration in El Paso, Texas yesterday.

“Serve in the military” History shows that when Rome started paying foreigners to defend them, the empire fell!
Join the Military to fight wars for Itsalie? I don’t think so, Ted. Our Founding Fathers were terrified of Standing Armies, thats why they limited them. Unfortunately, we went to sleep and lost sight of the dream.
This creature is a Traitor and a waste of skin!
