SEN. JOHN CORNYN DECLARES SUPPORT FOR DREAM ACT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTSSen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who is in line to be Senate Majority Whip if Republicans regain control of Congress next week, declared his support for the DREAM Act. During a KUVN Univision 23 debate with his Democrat opponent David Alameel last Friday, Cornyn said that he was a " strong supporter of immigration reform." Cornyn also said that illegal immigrant DREAMers who "are guilty of nothing other than coming with their family" should be allowed to "serve in the military" and "earn an American citizenship." Cornyn, who is on his way to reelection, said that he is a believer " that education is the way out." Beatrice Martinez of the Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce told ThinkProgress that she supported Cornyn because Alameel's calls for more border security turned her off.
