I know that 2008 is basically a dead year for the Dream act or any type of CIR, however i think that we should start planning our next step once the elections are done and Obama is elected.
The anti immigrant groups credit themselves with the defeat of 2006 CIR, the DREAM act ect, so i know theyll be foaming at the mouth once the new legislative session starts and any pro immigrant legislation is presented.
this is what im talking about

Radio Talk Jocks To Tackle Immigration On Sept. 11
By Samuel Loewenberg
Aug 13, 2008
(The Politico) Groups opposed to what they call “amnesty” for undocumented immigrants announced plans today to bring some 50 talk radio hosts from around the country to broadcast from Capitol Hill on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” event is a reprise of a similar event last year when the populist broadcasters rallied opposition to the immigration reform legislation that ultimately collapsed in the Senate.
Organizers said they were staging their on-air demonstration as a reaction to the immigration reform movement, which has received a sympathetic ear from the presidential campaigns of both Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
“Powerful special interests are now in full force pushing for amnesty and foreign guest workers with no regard to the plight of the American worker, wages, or a deteriorating economy,” said the chief organizer, Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s Congressional Task Force." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/...n4349115.shtml
