Sent to:
Senator Richard J. Durbin (D-IL)
Representative Jerry F. Costello (D-IL 12th)
CC: President Barack Obama (D)
As a resident in your state and district, I request that you vote "NO" on the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act or DREAM Act coming up for a vote in the next two weeks in the House and Senate.
* This bill provides amnesty for the children of illegal aliens who were brought to this country by their parents. It would also allow these children to serve as 'anchors' for citizenship for other family members thus allowing these illegal aliens a citizenship pathway as well.
* This bill would allow the States to provide a benefit to persons who reside in the United States illegally. Illegal aliens should not have the right to in-state tuition nor should the States be forced to provide illegal aliens in-state tuition.
* There is no public policy reason for the uniformed services to recruit or to allow entry into military service illegal aliens residing in this country. The military should not be used as a pathway to citizenship by those who entered this country illegally.
* If the proposed law passes, illegal alien students would have the right to financial aid such as student loans and work-study grants.
* If this bill passes it will create an 'incentive' for foreign nationals to cross our borders illegally and obtain citizenship through the use of their children.
* Equating two years of college with two years of military service minimizes the sacrifices of those who have served.
* The DREAM Act will cost taxpayers $6.2 billion and is likely to adversely affect American college students
