The problem is that the other party wants to actively deport us so protest votes directly hurt immigrants.

Yeah I get it, it sucks that the Democrats don't have the conviction to get what they want through any means necessary and kick the can down the road....but it REALLY sucks to have the party in place that immediately took away prosecutorial discretion. While Trump was president, I was in constant fear that I could be stopped for rolling a stop sign out in a Republican suburb and that would be the end of me. Do we really have that short of a memory of the terror he was bringing?

Remember the summer of 2019 when ICE was supposed to go round up anybody they knew of who had an expired visa or removal order? I do. I'm not proud to say it but I was avoiding any place where my address was linked to public records. One of my family member's Mexican neighbors also mysteriously were gone that week. Republicans were taking joy in terrorizing immigrant communities. Remember when they were going to jobsites, municipal courts, or even schools to arrest a parent dropping off their kid at school? I do.

You can't compare the Democrat's inaction to an all-out reign of terror by Republicans.

If some of you guys who are now citizens can't relate to that fear and can't see how your choices might hurt your former fellow Dreamers then I beg you to look in the mirror and ask yourselves whether this is the type of person you want to be now that you have the power to change things.

Biden Administration should use lifting title 42 as leverage in exchange for legalization for dreamers
