Speech #1100110832

Act turns that all on its head. and for illegal alien students who have come into the United States in violation of the law. whom if ICE. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. were to be required to deliver this instate tuition discount. lets call it a voucher. its not. its a discount. but if they had to deliver it in the form of check or a voucher and if ICE had to deliver that. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. they would be compelled to pick up that prospective student and send them back to the country from which they came so that they could be legally residing in their home country. Thats the law. Mr. Speaker. and the Dream Act turns this on its head. It grants people who are here illegally. all the way up to age 30. if they will enter into a school and start their studies on a 2year study program or if they will go into the uniform services. not necessarily our armed services. then they get conditional residency or conditional legal status in the United States. And then. if they keep their nose clean. they get a green card which is lawful. permanent residence. and its about 5 years to citizenship. And the formerly illegal immigrants have access then to all the chain migration tools that anyone else has who comes here legally for those who have respected our laws. Now. that means they can bring in their siblings. It means they can bring in their children. It means they can bring in their parents. and that whole chain migration can start over and over again. We had a chart that was put together on the chain migration that comes with the policy thats there thats called family reunification. and it looks like about one legal immigrant can bring in about 277 family members by the time you go out through the chain of the family tree. That would also be true for an illegal immigrant who would be granted amnesty under the DREAM Act. So instate tuition discounts. amnesty for illegal aliens. put this bill. this bill that if the cloture as has been filed and If it successfully passes tomorrow. then the Senate will go to a vote on the DREAM Act. If they do that and the House should take up the same bill and then the President should sign it. you will have illegal aliens who will be sitting in desks in the institutions of higher learning within our States studying. going to college at the expense of the taxpayers and at the expense of the Federal taxpayers because we do appropriate funds that go into these institutions. As you know. Mr.
