Democrats Make One Last Push for the DREAM Act

Pedro Ramirez was brought to the US by illegal immigrant parents when he was three years old. Now he’s Student Body President at Fresno State. Unless Congress passes the DREAM Act, he won’t be able to work, join the military or qualify for public assistance. Is the Act simple fairness or a gateway to “amnesty?” Also, big fines for Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield and other insurance companies for not paying California hospitals and doctors what they were owed.  On our rebroadcast of To the Point, WikiLeaks rips the lid off US diplomacy.

Pedro Ramirez was brought to the US by illegal immigrant parents when he was three years old. Now he’s Student Body President at Fresno State. Unless Congress passes the DREAM Act, he won’t be able to work, join the military or qualify for public assistance. Is the DREAM Act simple fairness or a gateway to “amnesty?” Also, big fines for Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield and other insurance companies for not paying California hospitals and doctors what they were owed. On our rebroadcast of today’s To the Point, the Obama Administration says a quarter-million confidential documents released by WikiLeaks risk lives and threaten the conduct of diplomacy. Is there any upside to revealing secrets many people already suspected?
