A shift in message
 

I honestly feel like we have pulled as many heart strings as we can by now. When I work with American factory workers, yeah they may have compassion for us but they are more worried about the economic future of their own children.

We need to start heavily shifting the message from a sympathy one, to one that focuses on how we strengthen the economy and not burden it.

This is really important because that's one of the main attacks from the right, that we are taking jobs from the American people. Replying to this attacks with "yeah but this the only country I know" isn't enough for many sympathetic working class Americans.

We need to talk about how redundant it is to send us to a different country just so corporations can bring foreigner workers to fill the current slots we occupy. We need to emphasis that this country invested on our education and how it would be a brain drain to make us leave. We need to constantly bring up the fact that 5% of DREAMERS are entrepreneurs.

We are such a small portion of the economy that there is really no argument.

I agree with this^^^

Would this stand true if a huge chunk of immigrants, legal or undocumented, boycotted for a month?

All 12 mil at once maybe but even then 12 mil is small. Dreamers are hardly a mil.

They think we send all the money we earn overseas. Sure...we're robots and don't consume anything. 100% of my earnings are kept here and either spent or saved in banks.
