A bill to create a pathway to citizenship for the children of undocumented workers would reduce the deficit by $1.4 billion over the next 10 years, according to a Congressional Budget Office report released Thursday evening. Over the next 10 years, the DREAM Act would increase revenues by $2.3 billion by increasing the number of authorized workers. This would lead to a $1.4 billion decrease in the deficit over the 10-year period, the CBO reported.

And unemployment won't go over 8%, we'll close Gitmo and we'll find that white girl that's missing in Aruba right?

It's a shame that some Mexican kid, brought here when they were <10, that sees themselves as an American can't serve in the Armed Forces or get a degree and help make this country better. We already spent the money to educate them. We should reap the rewards.

If they made that into a movie, I'm sure it'll get an award for best comedy of the year

Yes it is a shame, let's educate them, feed them, house them and give them a college scholarship to make up for the wrong that we've done. Maybe we can allow them to bring their entire family here to the US as well, then we might be able to give them all social security and Medicare since we're being fair.

I'm not sure how it is in PA. Here in Arizona we have thousands of of Mexican Nationals that have been here for over a decade with degrees in engineering, nursing, and many other fields that we are giving the jobs away to other foreign Nationals with no allegiance to this country. Don't get me wrong, I love Indian food. I would just rather have some Mexican(American) kid that has been here since he was 2 get that job at Intel vs. an Indian.

There are many others way to reduce the deficit.

How about stop wasting the money you have now?

And I do not want to pay off our debt and give our country away to illegal criminal trespassing invaders.

No can do.

Send them all home and stop the wasteful spending.

Make 47% of the freeloaders who do not pay taxes start paying their fair share.

End welfare for those who have been on welfare more then 6 months.

Make people EARN what they get.

And to think all the millions and millions we would save if we rid ourselves of the criminal invaders who have bankrupt so many schools, hospitals and towns.

The dream is over, go home and get in line like everyone else did.
