Even if I get my status, I won't forget you guys. I'll still come here regularly, praying, fighting, and supporting this legislation.
What the hell are you doing here? Go enjoy your life.

That does not matter. There is E-Verify to bargain.

My alter ego, "ABC DA User" says:

I'm positive that the Democrats will be able to negotiate a DREAM Act/E-Verify bill with the Republicans...

Look at how great the Democrats are at negotiating... a public option in the health care bill... ending the Bush tax cuts for millionaires. They're experts. And the Republicans... they love and respect Obama and the Democrats so much, I am sure they are jumping at the chance to work together with them in a friendly manner.

A DREAM Act/E-Verify compromise is surely in the works!!!!

I think you underestimate Republicans' unwillingness to pass any type of immigration reform. They are just not interested in that at the moment.
