1. The DREAM Act Is NOT Limited to Children, And It Will Be Funded On the Backs Of Hard Working, Law-Abiding Americans
2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, Including Criminals, From Being Removed or Deported If They Simply Submit An Application
3. Certain Criminal Aliens Will Be Eligible For Amnesty Under The DREAM Act
4. Estimates Suggest That At Least 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens Will Be Eligible For the DREAM Act Amnesty. In Reality, We Have No Idea How Many Illegal Aliens Will Apply. (In the 1986 Amnesty, Reagan thought there were only 1M illegals but 3M ended up getting amnesty!)
5. Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits
6. The DREAM Act Does Not Require That An Illegal Alien Finish Any Type of Degree (Vocational, Two-Year, or Bachelor's Degree) As A Condition of Amnesty
7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and There is ALREADY A Legal Process In Place For Illegal Aliens to Obtain U.S. Citizenship Through Military Service
8. Despite Their Current Illegal Status, DREAM Act Aliens Will Be Given All The Rights That Legal Immigrants Receive-Including The Legal Right To Sponsor Their Parents and Extended Family Members For Immigration
9. Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid
10. DHS Is Prohibited From Using the Information Provided By Illegal Aliens Whose DREAM Act Amnesty Applications Are Denied To Initiate Their Removal Proceedings or Investigate or Prosecute Fraud in the Application Process

The DREAM Act is bad legislation. While I might sympathize with kids who are here illegally through no fault of their own and I might even support something that would help them, I do not support the DREAM Act and neither should you.
Anyone under the age of 35 is eligible, and applicants merely have to claim that they meet the eligibility, since the burden of proof would lie with DHS, not the applicants. This is a recipe for fraud that has national security implications as well.
The DREAM Act amnesty clearly does not require illegal aliens to attend high school, go to college, or enter the U.S. military to qualify for the amnesty: they needed only to take an ability-to-benefit test and complete a one-year vocational program to get on the path to citizenship (and there was no requirement that they actually complete their college education).
There are 22 million Americans who cannot find a job. At the same time, Pew Research Center reports there are over 8 million illegal aliens currently working in the USA. Supporting the DREAM Act amnesty during the lame duck session would be an affront to these American men and women, legal immigrants, and all their families. How does a mass amnesty help the tens of millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans and legal immigrants who are struggling to keep their homes and meet their families' essential needs?
