Gentlemen, please. Stop conflating completely different things.
Saying it is reasonable to believe Republicans will not support sensible reform for us does not equate to:
a) Calling for a clean Dream Act. (Smooth)
nor
b) Expecting the Dream Act or sensible relief to pass with only Dem support and votes. (2Face)

Please fix all the loose screws in your head.
My stance, once again:
I do not think Congress can pass sensible reform (i.e. a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers) if it will require Republican support. I would love for Dems and Republicans to come together and pass reasonable reform, but I have no faith in Congress, both sides, but especially Republicans. Those of you that have faith in them, especially Republicans, to support reasonable relief for us have little to go off on considering this Dreamer issue has been going on for over 10 years and the broader immigration reform "effort" has be going on for decades. Biden is not going to unify and heal, when Republicans have a history of "party first", falling in line, and being obstructionists, including just a few days ago with delaying Biden's DHS nominee. Again, there is absolutely not good faith to off of there. There's nothing there.

Dems also so not have the balls to do some mudslinging and play dirty like Republicans to get their agenda done.

Given the above, my stance is for Dreamers to be realistic, take advance of the the new administration (who is not actively seeking to deport them), and try to find existing avenues to gain relief. Hopefully, Biden passes executive actions to broaden DACA and make entry with inspection for Dreamers to utilize down the road for AOS easier. If something passes through Congress, fantastic, but do not hold your breath.



EDIT: Also 2Face, you keep saying we all need to work with the new admin and we need to work to get this solution made, etc. etc. etc. Practically speaking, what the hell do you mean by that and what are you doing, specially, aside from making posts here? Are you organizing demonstrations? Volunteering time? Calling senators? Are you like, drafting up legislation language and sending them to congressional committees on immigration? Are you a congressional intern helping with immigration studies and reporting? WTF do you mean when you keep spewing that, we need to work with the new administration? How exactly, practically speaking and what are you doing to contribute to that "work"?
