As Democratic leader of the U.S. Senate Harry Reid moves to present the DREAM Act in the current lame-duck session, Tea Party Manatee, opposed to the act, is using its newsletter to promote “Ten Things you need to know about S3827 the DREAM Act.” The list contains several misleading items.

* Tea Party Manatee also says that the DREAM Act will allow illegal aliens to qualify for in-state tuition and repeals Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which prohibits giving education benefits to an unlawfully present individual unless that same benefit is offered to all U.S. citizens.

But the National Immigration Law Center says “the DREAM Act would not require states to provide in-state tuition to undocumented students but rather would let states decide whether it was in their interests to do so.”
