Even as the illegal alien advocacy lobby is frantically trying to spin the election of Barack Obama as a mandate for a sweeping amnesty, they have all but conceded that the economic crisis and worsening unemployment have probably doomed their efforts. They’ve set their sights on the more modest goals of achieving amnesty for segments of the illegal alien population and using those to leverage further concessions down the road.

Advocates for illegal aliens believe that the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act offers them their best hope to enact a mini-amnesty. The DREAM Act would confer amnesty on most illegal alien youths and just about anyone who could vaguely be described as a student, and guarantee them subsidized in-state tuition rates in their states of residence on the premise that as children, they are not responsible for being in the country illegally. It would also result in a de facto amnesty for many parents, and entitle these kids to sponsor other relatives in the future.

Just as suddenly as passage of the DREAM Act seemed to be within the grasp of the illegal alien amnesty lobby, it appears to be slipping away. America’s higher education system – especially public universities and colleges – is facing a crisis.

If it would get rid of every single illegal alien here, I'm willing to suffer the consequences of a full blown depression.

I am coming to that same conclusion.

Remember though that even our Great Depression at its worst during the 1930's was still milder than Mexico's economy ever was.

I could have saved myself a trip to Springfield, IL had I known the economy would intervene on our behalf. Either way, Mission Accomplished!

What's the celebration about? That the economy is tanking? You sure are a patriotic bunch.

Btw, does anyone find it funny that some of you have taken the opinion of one man and are acting like it has already happened? LOL
