Apparently all returning Democratic Senators signed a letter in favor of Filibuster reform. We just have to wait to see if they go ahead with it and what type of changes they make.

As far as I'm concerned, both parties can benefit from the filibuster reform.

7. Take jobs strictly unwanted by Americans
8. Commit a single misdemeanor and you are gone.
9. Citizenship only given if you die while serving in the military.

Thats BULLSHIT! Might as well become "indentured servants" and clean their cracks of all dingleberries! We did nothing wrong. Did we have a grand plan to come to this country and "take everything" from the ones born into it?

We're not criminals.

We are:
In limbo because of the current immigration laws.

So fuck those ridiculous concessions. Fuck them all. We're not gonna have a price set on our heads.

This type of shit is irritating.

Durbin always introduces a Dream Act at every congress. Nothing new.

That will probably be the strictest measure they'll add. With about 10% of people being denied and not being able to come back. A gamble of sorts.

I remember him saying in a speech that his mom was an immigrant.
