Likely Yea
Having twice lobbied the Congressman, once directly, once to his district deputies, I believe he will support this legislation. He directly stated to me and 5 other students who were lobbying him to become a cosponsor of DREAM 2009 that he would vote for the bill as a stand alone "if it came up for a vote." He has said that he would consider cosponsoring, but that he wanted to "be a team player" and needed to consult with Rep. Conyers about the preferred trajectory of reform (CIR v. DREAM Act alone). Now that CIR is out there, I consider him a likely yea. He is generally favorable to immigration reform, but not a leader on the issue.
