Illinois Rallying for DREAM Act, immigration reforms

[brokenarrow]

A crowd of several hundred students, immigrants, community leaders and elected officials packed a Southwest Side church Saturday for a rally calling for the passage of an Illinois DREAM Act and other immigration reforms.

"This is the Land of Lincoln, and in Illinois, we are fighting back," Alie Kabba, board president for the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, told the crowd inside the St. Nicholas of Tolentine Parish in West Lawn. At times, the audience became so spirited that some attendees jumped up onto the church's pews to cheer.

Attendees arrived by the busload and carried signs with slogans matching the chants they yelled: "Education not Deportation!" and "One Nation, One Dream!"

The Mexican bandits have already stolen BILLIONS of education dollars from the people of Illinois. This action will mean the theft of BILLIONS more. It also steals from the dreams of real Americans and their children's futures.

Besides the state DREAM Act, attendees at the rally pushed for a Smart Enforcement Act that would allow local governments to choose whether they want to cooperate with a federal immigration enforcement program that targets hardened criminals but has also led to the deportation of illegal immigrants arrested for misdemeanor crimes.

Others in the crowd lobbied for redrawing political district maps so that they would better reflect immigrant communities.

Since this will, in effect, make all US Americans living in Illinois second class citizens to invading Mexicans, I wonder:

Can Illinois actually surrender to Mexico without permission from the Obama Man?

This state is headed down the shitter faster than ever.
