I feel the Dream act should be traded in for E-VERIFY. Ones E-verify passes they will have one less excuse not to pass CIR. It will be a double edge sword for both the Dreamers and the antis once DA passes it will open the flood gates for other pro immigrant legislation. It will take more time, But all it takes is one single step, One single compromise to make a difference and give cover to some reasonable law makers, that might not otherwise vote for DA by its self for fear of retaliation by the TEA BAGGERS.

Not to mention DREAMers that could actually do a lot more with less fear of the repercussions as people with legal status.
I don't think that is a very bad trade really.
The thing about e-verify, all it will ensure is that there will either be mass firings and people that would end up getting jobs where they would more readily be taken advantage of for the profit of another person, and/or at the very least it will increase the demand for stolen or 'borrowed' identities. Despite what the government does there are always going to be a large number of people that will most likely not leave the country because either their country is highly unstable, they could make more in one hours than they do in a day or a couple of days, or other people's lives depend on them providing.
