So, since they are pretty much telling everyone that reform cannot pass this year; it will likely NOT pass next election year; and probably NOT in the presidential election year 2011....what the f***k is the purpose of all this media circus? You don't prove anything, and sorry, but no, it will not buy you votes. I cannot vote, but citizens in my family can, and they will not vote for anyone who betrayed immigration reform. I am sick and tired of empty words that don't make anything happen. Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, and yes, President Obama all put a shiny thing on our backs.
What's going to happen to the students who made it on the news and got deferred deportation? It expires for some of them next month, I think. Dream Act should be put to a vote; (I)245 should be reinstated, and AgJobs should be enacted.
I've written to some lawmakers about voting on the Dream Act this fall, and honestly don't see them moving to do it at all. Cowards.

We all should take into consideration that the recession and the economic effects are what's hindering many of the bills that are being considered, namely health care reform and energy policies and of course the DREAM Act why the economic recovery bills were the only ones to have passed so easily.
If there wasn't a recession and the economy was as healthy as it was back in early 2007 or prior then the DREAM Act would certainly have a better shot at passing.
