DREAM: George LeMieux Considers 'Children Who Are Here Due to No Illegal Act of Their Own'

Republican senatorial candidate George LeMieux is leaving the door open for the DREAM Act, after he voted against it.

The political website Shark Tank reported that LeMieux was "reconsidering" his position on the ill-fated federal proposal to grant in-state college tuition to illegal immigrants.

Reached by Sunshine State News, LeMieux spokeswoman Anna Nix responded via e-mail:

"While in the Senate, George LeMieux not only voted against the DREAM Act, but also to enhance border security, deter illegal aliens from entering our country, and deny funds to cities that have sanctuary policies -- all measures defeated by Bill Nelson and the Democratic majority.

"George has always believed that before anything can be done concerning illegal immigrants in this country, we must first secure our border. Once our border is secure, we can determine what to do with the people here illegally, including the children who are here due to no illegal act of their own."
