Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- October 24
Sylvester: Republicans acknowledge that there are some heartbreaking stories out there. But they say rewarding illegal behavior with a path to citizenship will only encourage more illegality.
Senator Jim DeMint: We need to fix our borders. We need to create an immigration system that works. We don't need to create amnesty one step at a time. [...]
Sylvester: Now, ironically, the White House came out against the DREAM Act today, saying it prefers the so-called comprehensive approach. The Office of Management and Budget went a little further, saying that the DREAM Act would lead to large-scale document fraud, contain loopholes that granted permanent status for criminal aliens, even those convicted of felonies, and would allow beneficiaries to petition almost instantly to bring family members into the country
Dobbs: This is remarkable, the White House waiting until the day of the vote to make those rather strong statements in opposition to the legislation.
