Lawmakers Push More "Amnesty Light"

( Miami, Florida) Called The American Dream Act, legislation to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens, has been introduced in Congress and lawmakers hope for passage by the Democrat Congress and our cheerleader-for-amnesty President.

Two Miami lawmakers will join several pro-immigrant groups today to urge passage of a bill in Congress that could help thousands of undocumented immigrant students attend college and become legal residents.

Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and his brother, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., will team up with the Florida Immigrant Coalition and other groups to promote "The American Dream Act."

The bill, if passed, would grant in-state tuition to undocumented immigrant students and permit those students, along with those serving in the military, to obtain a green card and legally remain in the United States.

Apparently, this measure would do nothing about American students desiring to attend out-of-state schools. That is unless they opted to lie about their citizenship and claim they are illegally in the country from Elbonia or Frazzistan or Guatemala or something.

It might be too much to expect that Congress will also, and concurrently, decriminalize trespassing. Since The American Dream Act actually rewards trespassers in the U.S., it would be logical to eliminate any laws which make trespassing illegal.

Of course, it would be naive to pretend that trespassing in the U.S. would ever be made legal by law. But, as a practical matter, it is and, presumably will continue to be, essentially legal to trespass in the U.S. as long as politicians grant taxpayer-funded windfalls to any foreign citizen able to sneak across the border while doing little to stifle the eager sneakers and sneakettes.
