What's different now than 2010 and previous DA bills is that over time thru DACA, the American public has had a chance to really see and understand who Dreamers are and how much they benefit the country. All the pressure we have been putting and the stories Dreamers have been sharing since 2013 has worked and led to all the support we see today.

I realize it sounds cliché but I really do think the momentum we see this time wasn't there before.

It's harder to push us back in to the shadows - esp when there is tangible evidence of our contributions to our communities and the country. The benefits are just too hard to ignore.
