P. S. A lof of undocumented in these groups are also child care and elderly home care workers.
No one is talking about essential workers any more. In the mind of many, the pandemic is over. A pathway for the current DACA population would probably be less controversial and more realistic to pass.

The larger the population, the less likely they are to try and put a bill forward. Also the GOP did a walk back, they are offering legal status not citizenship. We will have to wait and see what that means.

Realistically speaking, on one hand you are allowed to keep fighting for 10M undocumented immigrants. But on the other hand, the real sorry ass is all of us (maybe not me now) won't have that sweet green card for another decade.

You can't help others if you are not in the position to help. Like think for a second... if they offer you a one-day citizenship tomorrow, would you take it or would you rather sit it out like some kind of moral saint?

Take whatever deal you have. You are powerless in the eyes of this Congress.

Unless we get all 50 votes, it's likely we won't see immigration at all before mid term election :/ to Biden, his two top priorities are economy and passing the infrastructure bill. His base is still screaming for police reform which isn't going to get 50 votes at all.

It is not like anyone of us has real power. Our situation is "Take what you get, if anything at all". That is the truth.

The Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing to discuss the American Dream and Promise
Act of 2021, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 4.4 million illegal
immigrants
. As you knew when scheduling the hearing, there is no clear and politically viable
path forward for such legislation in Congress.
This is such classic Republican bullshit and the people on here who support it don't see it. They want to kill the Dream Act, the only reasonable way to deal with Dreamers while dangling the carrot of only helping the randomly chosen 900 million dreamers who have DACA. This is disingenuous.

The first thing it does is create "real dreamers with DACA" vs. "2nd class dreamers who didn't fit the arbitrary age requirements". I'm sure the people on here who fall in the first group will give no 2nd thought at the chance at a green card and would step on their own mothers neck along with the other dreams to get it but even that is a foolish notion because Republicans have absolutely no intention of going through with giving green cards to just the "real dreamers".

Read between the lines, they look at all of us as illegals. Their goal is to convince Democrats to raise the requirements of who is a deserving dreamer, waste another 8 months, and as soon as Democrats believe them and cave in order to at least give something to DACA recipients, they will pull the football away Charlie Brown style and at the end, not only will nobody get a green card, but the definition of a Dreamer is reduced to just DACA recipients.
