2) No chain immigration at all.
Well, that will be challenging part 2face. But, not impossible. One way we could put pressure on the Democrats is to appear in public supporting Rubio's idea--to have him present us publicly as DREAMERS who support his alternative and want the Democrats to swallow their pride and meet the GOP halfway. In other words, he needs "poster" Dreamers. So, flooding Rubio's twitter or facebook account letting him know that we support his alternative might help get his attention, cause him to contact us somehow, and then present us to the public.

Keep in mind, we would not be back-stabbing the Democrats. We would just be showing them that not everyone in our community is on board with the fact that they plan to block Rubio' s alternative and that we want the Dems to compromise!
