Illegal Immigration Watch: Dream Act Fails in Senate

Light poles and a metal fence (L), recently constructed by US National Guards, are part a double-fence border barrier that runs along the US-Mexico border 04 October 2007 east of San Luis, Arizona. The US Senate on Wednesday blocked a bid to give children of illegal immigrants a path to legal status, again dashing hopes for any meaningful action on immigration reform before 2008 elections.

The United States Senate rejected the Dream Act today leaving any hopes for immigration reform with the next President and Congress.

The bill would have allowed illegal immigrants, if they passed background checks and became permanent legal residents, to qualify for lower in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities.

The Dream Act would thus confer the benefits of cheaper college tuition for illegal aliens.  For example, my college age children would continue to pay out of state Indiana tuition to attend Purdue University while an illegal alien in that state would pay a lesser amount.
So, what happens next?

The Presidential election of 2008 where illegal immigration will be the MAIN issue in many Southern and Western states.

Stay tuned……..
