Durbin's bill works against U.S. citizens

Sen. Dick (Disturbin) Durbin is at it again. He reintroduced the Dream Act so that illegals can go to college for in-state fees. Once they graduate they then can become citizens.

A few things bother me. Can illegals come from Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, etc. and takes spots that Illinois children are also applying for? Where is the money going to come from to pay for their room, board and tuition as I assume most won't have the money to pay for it?

After they become citizens and with chain migration still in effect, they will then be able to have mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins gain entry into the United States. Is there going to be DNA tests to prove they are related or is going to be just a guess?

Then another thing bothers me. The law of supply and demand. If there is now a 8.6 percent unemployment rate, what is the rate going to be if the supply of workers increases by another 20 million?

Unions aren't going to help as in a right-to-work state, builders don't need to hire union workers to get work done. Who do you think will get a job that is bid out, the union employer with all their benefits or someone who has workers who will work for half the pay?

Supply and demand, my friends. Americans need to call their senators and tell them take care of Americans like you said you would in your oath of office. We are a nation of laws, but obviously Congress only enforces the laws they want to. This shouldn't even be an issue if they enforced the illegal immigration laws.
