HERE WE GO AGAIN...Sen. Dick Durbin Announces First-Ever Senate Hearing on the Dream Act

HERE WE GO AGAIN...Sen. Dick Durbin Announces First-Ever Senate Hearing on the Dream Act..Durbin (D-IL) announced today that he will chair the first-ever Senate hearing on the DREAM Act next Tuesday, June 28th, at 10:00 am ET. The hearing will be in room 226, of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. “I’ve been working on the DREAM Act for over ten years,” Durbin said. “In that time, it’s been reported out of committee by a large bipartisan margin, passed the House of Representatives, and received a bipartisan majority vote in the Senate, only to fall because of a filibuster. I’ll convene the first-ever Senate hearing on this bill next week to discuss how the DREAM Act will make our country stronger by giving undocumented students a chance to earn legal status if they came here as children, are long-term U.S. residents, have good moral character, and complete two years of college or military service in good standing.” Durbin will chair the hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security. The hearing will be webcast live on the Judicary Committee website.

34,448 Illegal Aliens Spared Deportation (Napolitano lies)

34,448 Illegal Aliens Spared Deportation (Napolitano lies).. Obama Administration suspended tens of thousands of deportations last year and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano lied to a Senate committee to cover up the astounding figure. Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee that has oversight over the DHS that her agency halted the deportation of only 900 illegal aliens in fiscal year 2010. She did admit that the figure could be higher because it excludes “deferred action” granted to illegal aliens for “humanitarian” reasons.
