Senate Wakes from DREAM and Votes Down Amnesty

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Eagle Forum, a leading
pro-family organization founded by Phyllis Schlafly, commends the U.S.
Senate today for defeating the cloture motion to proceed to S. 2205, the
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, by a vote
of 52-44 (Roll Call 394). The bill would have granted amnesty to illegal
aliens who came to this country before the age of 16 and who have lived
here at least five years. This was the Senate's first attempt to grant
amnesty to millions of illegal aliens since the defeat of the
Kennedy-McCain-Kyl bill in June of this year. PRNewswire.com, 10-24-07
