It is right and just for us to have a speedy pathway to citizenship at this point; and by us, I mean all Dremers, not just the DACA population. For us to be left thinking it is okay not to be able to travel or not to be able to eventually sponsor a spouse for citizenship later on or not be able to vote and continue to pay taxes without representing just shows so much how we have been beaten down over the last 15+ years. And then this constant climate forcing us to believe we DESERVE only breadcrumbs makes the DACA population turn against other Dreamers when we could use that energy to mobilize and scortch Congress for their inaction and very, very low bar... So sad.

We need WAY, WAY better leadership in the Dreamer community. Dreamers that are not UWD. Dreamers that are smart, fight for the Dreamer community, critical, strategic, organized, and outspoken. From what I have seen, our community rolls over to Durbin who has had no fucking results for 20 years. We stay silent to UWD. We do not meet the fucking Republicans who hate us with equal passion and action. We don't organize. We largely stay silent and just watch. If we had better leadership and action, this shit would have been over a long time ago. We have social media, we have the majority of the public behind us, we have our employers supporting us, we have so much, yet default and submit to the current situation.
