But, legislators--regardless of the sacrifices that Dreamers make--will refuse to advocate a bill that consists of major flaws or does not tackle the concerns of opponents (one being border security). So, you can tatoo that words "DREAM Act" on the back of your head; legislators will not support the bill if it is TOO faulty.

I'm not saying go to extremes and paint the letter DA on your butt cheeks while you streak through the white house lawn. I'm saying we need to rework the we get our message across. Yeah, adding some sort border security clause which would be pointless but comforting to conservatives is key but there's already so much missinformation out there about the bill to begin with. I mean, there were tens of senators last Saturday who stood there and blatantly lied about the bill. Faxing and calling to beg for the DA just doesn't get the message across. It just becomes nagging. If we're going to bombard them with anything, it's going to be information rather than vague pleas.
