Yeah, and by the time the benchmarks are met--and everybody has been deported--the problem of legalization will solve itself: there won't be anybody left who will be eligible to legalize. I am sure that it is refreshing to hard-right Republicans to see that the logic of the Fugitive Slave Law in Arizona has finally penetrated the ranks of our supposed allies in Washington. Way to out-Republican the Republicans, guys!

I think we need to start pushing Dream as a stand-alone bill--or at the very least to push the administration to agree to the idea of temporarily halting deportation of potential Dreamers.
