It's a terrible bill which we can not afford and that will result in crushing chain-migration.
It's the Democrat Socialists party's vote buying effort to secure a few million more votes in the coming elections.
It should be opposed and the fact they are trying to ram this through during the lame duck session is both alarming and reprehensible.

To quote Investors Business Daily:

This is an amnesty bill. Under it, illegal aliens who enter this country before the age of 16 and have successfully evaded the law for five years are given conditional green-card status that can later be converted to regular green cards. They are required to complete two years of college or military service.

Then green cards can be acquired for the parents who brought their children here illegally. And once they’ve been granted citizenship, they can bring all their relatives to the U.S. Those who’ve waited patiently, and legally, for their green cards will still have to wait while the open-border parade passes them by.

These are not children who were born here after their parents sneaked past the Border Patrol; the argument there is that birthright citizens shouldn’t be punished for the sins of their parents. No, these are children who were born elsewhere and smuggled in before their 16th birthday.

To reward this illegal behavior would encourage more to come, and there is no shortage of human smugglers in Mexico who would be happy, for a fee, to assist. The smuggled and their families, of course, would be eternally grateful.

“A lot of this is about demographics,” says Sen.-elect Rand Paul, R-Ky. “If you look at immigrants from Mexico, they register 3-to-1 Democrat, so the Democratic Party is for easy citizenship and allowing them to vote.” But what about the people who wait patiently overseas and break no laws to get here? No citizenship for you!

A top advocate of the Dream Act is Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois. After meeting with the president, he issued a statement saying it would be "a down payment on comprehensive reform, and we will continue working towards comprehensive immigration reform today, tomorrow and until it passes." "Comprehensive immigration" is liberal-speak for open borders and amnesty.

Gutierrez crowed that three re-elected U.S. senators — Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and Michael Bennet — "and many other Democratic candidates in state and federal races, owe their jobs to the support of Latino and immigrant voters" who expect payback. As they say, elections have consequences.

And anyone who votes for this bill should be noted and voted out of office, INCLUDING the Republicans.
