Dreamers aren't exclusive to any particular strong lobbying arm of any industry so there isn't a lot of political capital to be spent on us. We can't vote. We can't donate. UWD is small potatoes to many other organizations that have an agenda, good or bad.

If all dreamers were exxon mobil shareholders, board members, and fundraisers for the GOP, then we'd all be USC and even get a special tax break within 2 years. But we're not.

We were given 2 year spans of being allowed to work and not break any laws and pay taxes... and that is a bridge too far for many republicans. Don't expect any olive branches, less you mistake them for thorny vines because that's all the R's will offer.
