After all, if DREAM fails alone, they can add it to CIR. Right?????????
What they are saying is that they cannot help with immigration reform if the Reps don't want to help too. Reps say they won't until the country is sealed. But we have support for DREAM now. How many times do we need to rehash this situation?

I agree that Democrats should do what they can and try to at least get Dream Act as a stand alone bill where it MIGHT get support from some republicans (keyword: MIGHT) because you know full well many of these republicans who say they will support it will come up with new B/S to vote against it.
So I am not saying the Democrats should not be held accountable for their promises but lets also be realistic here. This is politics. No matter how reasonable and sensible Democrats and Obama have been toward trying to form bipartisanship, the answer has been NO by republicans who have moved to the far-right thanks to the (tea party)
However, It was this statement i was replying to:
"President Obama and the leadership have given us failure after failure for the last 2 1/2 years"
