come on cant these Russians trolls try harder?
My main issue with them dude is that they did not use the political capital they had in 2008 on the issue. Rather, they used it on a shitty health care reform bill. If they care that much, they would have used that political capital right away in that time when they were relatively powerful to force shit through Congress. Keep in mind that the issue of Dreamers started to gain recognition around 2000/2001. So, when they had control in 2008 and were relatively powerful, why didn't they use it on young kids brought here by their parents? And, if you say, well the Republicans obstruct then I will ask you the same question: how do you feasibly break that cycle if the MAJORITY (not all) of Republicans always obstruct. You are never going to have 60+ Dem votes in the Senate for a clean dream act or a decent compromise--even if a blue wave (majority control) does happen.
