Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:35 AM Subject: Update! Dream Act amnesty could be voted on today
Your calls and emails are working! As a result, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has so far not offered his DREAM Act amnesty amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization bill. This is because the Senator knows he needs 60 votes in support of his amendment in order to proceed to a vote. If Sen. Durbin thinks enough Senators will oppose his DREAM Act amendment that he will not be able to get 60 votes in favor of proceeding to a vote, he is not likely to offer his amendment. If you have not done so already, please take a moment today to call your Senators and urge them to vote "NO" on Sen. Dick Durbin's DREAM Act amnesty. Now is the time to keep up the pressure!

I've included background information on Sen. Durbin's DREAM Act amnesty amendment below. ProEnglish still strongly opposes the DREAM Act even though Sen. Durbin has now agreed to add an age cap limiting the amnesty to individuals under 30 years of age. Sen. Durbin's DREAM Act amendment would: *Give amnesty (conditional legal status and a path to citizenship) to all illegal aliens living in the U.S. who entered the U.S. before they were 16 years of age, and who have earned a high school diploma or a General Educational Development certificate (GED). An age cap has been added that would limit the amnesty to individuals under 30 years of age. *Allow states to give reduced in-state tuition at state-supported colleges and universities to illegal aliens by repealing the federal law that now prohibits them from receiving in-state tuition. * Give illegal aliens access to federal student loans and work-study programs that they are currently ineligible to receive. ProEnglish strongly opposes the DREAM Act because it would give legal status and extraordinary education benefits to millions of illegal aliens without requiring them to learn English. Giving legal status to millions of non-English speaking illegal aliens would dramatically expand demands for government services in foreign languages and further erode English's critical role as our unifying national language.
