U.S. Bishops Urge Elected Officials To Support DREAM Act, Affirm It Is The Right And Moral Thing To Do

In a statement delivered September 19 at the National Press Club Bishop Thomas Wenski of Orlando, Florida, [speaking on behalf of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)] called elected officials to “resist the voices of dissension and fear this time and vote for the DREAM Act.” ...

The DREAM Act would provide young persons who were brought by their parents to this country at an early age a way to regularize their status and obtain permanent residency. It also would allow states to give these young persons eligibility for in-state tuition.

Not exactly, according to Wikipedia.
The DREAM Act would also repeal Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which currently requires states to offer in-state tuition rates to all U.S. citizens in order to offer them to immigrant students."

  1. Simple directions:

    Whatever Bp. Wenski says, say or do the opposite.

    Even Pascal would take that wager.
