Amnesty now! Why the "Dream Act" will pass.

Dick Durbin has a new sales pitch to get the DOD behind supporting the "Dream Act". He intends to attach the legislation to the defense authorization bill that will be rushed through later this fall and thus hide this, as much as he can, from the public.
The pitch to the military is allow undocumented immigrants, who have a high school diploma, the option of enlisting in the armed forces. I assume they would have to pass the ASVAB vocational test with the same scores as citizens, as well as criminal background checks but I have not been able to confirm this.
Bill Carr, Deputy Undersecretary for Military-Personnel Policy is pushing this from the civilian side of the Pentagon.
I spent five years recruiting and keep in touch with the folks doing it today. Although the job is challenging, the services are meeting their recruiting goals. There is NO recruiting crisis.
The most cogent article is in the WSJ (subscription required).
note: None of the appropriations bills have been passed so far, watch as they roll them into big bundles with a little sugar for everyone and rush them through in the dead of night.
Dream Act???
Why the special treatment?
First the government comes in to our grade schools and tells us the children we are about to conceive are "unwanted" because the population is rising so fast and the resources are stretched to their limit.
Then the Revolutionaries in the government decide there is plenty of room for the criminals in businesses illegal labor.
On top of that we are stiffed with the medical and social services of the illegal invaders.
Now you want us to send our kids straight to work to pay for these lowlifes and there illegal schemes.
Give me a break.
How much more of this do you think we OR the economy will stand?
...hopefully Claire McCaskill will too since she opposed the first immigration bill, but you never know. I think grassroots activists have done a pretty decent job of getting the word out on this thing. Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham have been talking about it on the radio, plus NumbersUSA is already all over it. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will die.
