All the tinkering with the DREAM Act amnesty to try to get some extra votes to pass the bill is failing to address what probably is the single biggest problem with the bill. That would be its failure to turn off the jobs magnet that allowed the illegal-alien parents of the illegal-alien students to raise them in this country and into their present predicament.

This bill would give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens without doing a single thing to cut off the jobs magnet that caused the problem in the first place.

Under this bill, millions get amnesty and foreign parents can continue to bring their children here illegally and live here until the children are grown because there will be no mandatory verification procedures to stop them from keeping their jobs.

For five years, advocates for "comprehensive immigration reform" have said that, of course, any amnesty must be accompanied by enforcement measures to be sure that we don't build up an illegal population in the future.

But now, those very same Members of Congress are trying to ram through the DREAM Amnesty that has zero enforcement provisions.

When you call fence-sitting Members of Congress or those who are indicating they may vote YES on DREAM, please remind them that even if there are some young illegal aliens who are deserving of some kind of amnesty, this bill is not the bill because it would simply encourage millions more parents to illegally bring their kids into this country and raise them into protesters demanding another amnesty 10 or 15 years from now.
