Death of a DREAM: Reaction is swift and furious on both sides of immigration measure
"Now, the next Congress can start to put unemployed Americans back to work by eliminating the ability for illegal aliens to hold jobs and by reducing the number of unnecessary permanent foreign workers we currently bring in legally every month.
"This defeat of the DREAM Act amnesty marks the end of an era in which the American jobs were constantly under attack. Every year since 2000, Americans have faced a major amnesty threat, and every year citizens mobilized and fought back, preventing an amnesty from becoming law. This has been a decade of perfect defense (after the 1990s when Congress enacted six smaller amnesties).
"Now, we look forward to moving aggressively to offense. The next Congress has the strongest pro-enforcement membership since 1995 and probably since 1924." http://blogs.chron.com/txpotomac/2010/12/death_of_a_dream_reaction_is_s_1.html
