Re: Sen Gregg on immigration reform - March 30-2010 to NH Press.wmv
Have you all forgotten that Dream Act was reintroduced in BOTH chambers exactly one year ago?? And bipartisanly to top it all. Who do you think shelved it? It was the Democratic leadership in Congress; they shelved it - again- with the promise of 'future' immigration reform with a 'committment' to it passing in 2009, but really, not later than "early 2010". God, I feel a bit bitter. Early 2010 was Jan - March. And now, what do we hear and from whom???? Nothing and no one. I cannot fathom what the Democrats and the president can possibly have to say and be able, as used as they are to lying, to keep a straight face, which is why they are keeping mum. They will be caught and put on the spot the moment they start gibbering in public about keeping their promise, because you know, they are very "committed". Next we will hear that well, it'll now be "probably" 2011. Since you don't have a word to your name; then I agree: All activist organizations should be asking for the moon and then some. If the administration has changed its mind on this issue - and they have all been lying all this time - then why should we hold back? It was the Democratic -controlled HOUSE under Pelosi that shelved CIR 2007. And Obama and many Democrats kept offering ' poison' amendements to kill it; I went back to C-Span and researched it as it is was all a blur in my mind now. There's a growing underground movement on the web and in print, mainly in the Hispanic community, about abandoning the blind support they've given to Democrats. I read three articles about it today. They are encouraging immigration reform supporters to become swing, registered Independent voters and take their voice to whoever can get their interests enacted. It is what every other voting group does, including the ridiculous tea-party.
