I think we should all stop being very naive. Don't you see the trend here? Whenever immigration seems dead, there's always these "meetings" to make the public think that they care about the issue. Clearly Dream Act is dead for god knows how long and clearly prospects for CIR look very grim as republicans will be taking over. Republicans are invincible...They're having their way even when the President is a democrat. What's the difference now between Obama and Bush? They're both puppets.
