And even if DREAM Act were to pass this time around, why would the Republicans do anything for the remainder of the undocumented population? What would be the incentive? They would have "helped" the DREAMers and gotten everything they wanted in terms of border security. So, where would that leave Mom and Dad? Or the other DREAMers who have been waiting for the past few years with the rest of us, but are now too old to qualify?

You are correct ..the Dems didn't support it in the house.
The original DA age was 35,whenever the republicans say something they always wanted an age of 25.. President Obama went with 30..so know it bet that will be the age requirement.
Will the dreamers that aged out .will there be any special wording in this bill to help them ..who knows?
E verify has been in place for sometime now..it just keeps gettin pushed back
The AFL-CIO is fighting tooth and nail against it..and some states..
For our parents to even go to the back of the line u know the fines will be steep,back taxes,and application fees..plus a 10-20yr wait for a GC..
They will be just as we are now Deferred Action ....
Name one boarder Governor who will say it is secure? Thy don't now so imagine if it meant millions receiving a GC...fuggetaboutit..
Both sides will say they got it done..but all they will have accomplished is more H1 visas,dome sort of a STEM BILL..more than likely a DA bill..and millions of a second class citizenship I bet they will include that Dreamers can not sponsor parents..
President Obama has to fight for this ..just as hard as he did for HIS healthcare bill..it was a conquests that was dear to him (MOM)..
THIS WILL BE A LONG UPHILL BATTLE..but the benchmarks set forth before the est.undocumentedcan receive a place in line,are darn near impossible to fulfill.
