Well, we have to realize that there are going to be 8-10 million people not covered by the DA, those 8-10 million would feel the need to voice their anger at not having something that they and many people, in my opinion, falsely believe will give a greater possibility of their reform passing, unfortunately this government and many people take the business approach to things which has a tendency of making decision on potential short term benefits and results, and I feel long term the DA passing as a stand alone bill would have the fastest and best benefit for everyone that is in this situation.

As for voting for independents, well, they are usually independents because they used to be dems or reps and realized that someone else had a better chance so they immediately switched to independent and try to tell the people that deep down in their hearts they were always independent, while in the previous life they used to be very much to the right or left.

Who was it that felt in the beginning that the DA needed to be postponed and united with the CIR because they felt that passing the DA might decrease the possibilities of passing the more comprehensive immigration reform? This is not a new theory, it has been out there for a while now, unfortunately.
