* To protect victims of employers using false documents.
* The plan adds programs known as the Dream Act (for undocumented students outstanding) and AgJobs (for farmers)

I think Gutierrez will mess things up for us. .. I hope he waits. Yes, I know I probably sound a bit selfish but let's face it a bill like this doesn't have much of a chance.. = /

[questionsihave]

Seems like the main difference between DA and CIR if this is his plan is 3000 dollars, which is quite a lot? Also a touchback program...they should have a waiver for that.

[minus]

We need to get touch with Sen. Gutierrez asap! It's vital to have dream act separate from any CIR.

[anitagreencard]

CIR sounds great, but it's not practical. I agree that we should contact Gutierrez and let him know that Dream needs a voice of it's own.

I totally agree.

[lilbawler2001]

Guys, it doesn't matter if dream is part of his plan or not. If we all do our part, dream can be attached to any relevant bill that comes up before CIR. I am also sure dream act will be re-introduced separately like it has always been in both houses soon.

I agree with you. I've a feeling that Gutierrez will mess it up by asking CIR and nothing short of it. Dream act needs to be separated. CIR is dead for next two year or at least until unemployment goes down.:cry:

[geronimo610]

anyway we can contact this guy and do a phone call spree on him? To get him on our side to pass Dream first? It isn't just selfish, frankly it's more realistic and a priority in immigration. Immigration hasn't made a single landmark yet. What have we passed that has helped us? NOTHING! So why not pass Dream first? Baby steps right? It doesn't make sense to jump a hurdle when we can't even jump over a phone book. I say we use this logic to tell this guy to push for Dream first as the baby step before CIR. Can we do a phone call spree before he submits plans? Or are we going to just phone spree obama separately?
