Immigrant rights group slam Obama, Democrats for slow action with legalization bill

Quote:

Leaders of nearly a dozen grass-roots immigrant rights groups excoriated President Obama and congressional Democrats on Monday, accusing them of moving too slowly to legalize the status of undocumented immigrants and citing a record number of deportations in 2009.

Quote:

"We just don't see how this can happen in 2010. The best we can do is to get an outline [of a bill] out and have a couple of hearings," said one lobbyist, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing talks. "This is a way for everyone to say, 'We are doing something, and we are committed to getting something through Congress after the election.' "

^
This is all I think we're gonna get this year ( etc. couple hearings and a bill outline) and maybe DREAM pass as a stand alone, just for them to say they got something done and not just talk...

yeah i would be more than happy with the dream act which i'm sure all of us will be. and once we are legalized here we can do a lot more in our efforts to pass CIR for our parents and friends.

I think they should try to pass DREAM by itself anyway. They shouldn't make the mistake they made with Healthcare and try to pass everything at once.
