I think I still have the info about it here somewhere.

So if an immigrant joins the military (thank you TLAM btw for that info) they are pretty much already getting what Mr. Reid is pushing. So why is this such a big deal? Something stinks and I think it's coming from Mr. Reid.

The DREAM Act was to give any illegal immigrant who graduated high school and graduated college, amnesty.The illegal could not pay for college I am sure so would go on grants etc paid for by the government on in state tuition taking a legal citizen's place at a college then get amnesty? Beyond screwed up

OR they could join the military, then get all the benefits plus college when they are out.Equally screwed up.
