Im glad Obama always talked about dream and CIR as 2 separate issues.

Re: Immigration High on Obama's Priority List
A guest worker plan??!! I thought that thing was dead due to the economy.
I hope Dream can be its own issue and not tied to the CIR battle. Dream has been attached to CIR for most of its existence, and as a result, DREAM has always sunk as a passenger of the SS CIR. CIR should pass too, but please, please, please let Dream be its own issue. We've been getting mixed signals from the articles posted. |
Re: Immigration High on Obama's Priority List
Lol @ CIR,The guest-worker idea will never die as long as the US Chamber of Commerce is around.They will always advocate for a guest worker program,whether it be a temporary work program or highly skilled one.
Imo,there is absolutely no way around it,a Guest worker program will always be apart of a CIR package even though unemployment is currently rising,Republicans will be demanding it due to having strong business ties. |
Re: Immigration High on Obama's Priority List
I guess my description was confusing. I meant that I thought they would separate out the guest worker plan for now and just focus on a path to citizenship/tougher border security reforms for CIR. But it looks like they're going for a mega ship strategy again when it comes to CIR. That strategy has ruffled too many feathers before, but we'll see.
Politically speaking, I fear the response a guest worker plan would bring when so many people are out of jobs and so many are fearful of losing their jobs. All I want is for Dream to be its own issue but still hope for CIR to pass. Obama's rhetoric does indicate that Dream and CIR are two different issues, but you never know until the time arrives what the Administration's strategy is. |

We will need to be ready. About Cornyn, maybe he has noticed the changing demographics in Texas. He seemed moderate when it came to immigration during the debates with Noriega. |
