On Wednesday, immigrant rights advocates - joined by celebrities including Alyssa Milano and America Ferrera - will rally at the Los Angeles office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to deliver an unsubtle message to the Democrats: deliver for the "Dreamers," or pay a heavy price.

"DREAM Act or primaries," Ady Barkan, a spokesman from the activist group CPD Action, said Tuesday. "We need Democrats to deliver on their promise to pass a DREAM Act now or we will put our full weight behind primary challengers who are ready to protect our communities."

Article is mostly just a recap, but what I found interesting is how Dems are being held accountable.

Not to be a bitch but even if these current Dems get the job done, I think that primary challengers with more spine should receive full support. Feinstein, for example, only changed her tone after she felt immense pressure. That bitch doesn’t deserve another term.

LOL, Democrats won't pay any price when DACA ends in March 2018.

Why? Will DACA backers really support Trump and GOP over Democrats? I don't think so.
