I agree.
However, Republicans want the minimal number of people getting legalized. Let's face it... if it comes down to only the current DACA population getting relief, we are all going to apply.
It is not right for Republicans to prevent just and sensible reform to to pass (i.e. reform for all Dreamers) and we should all support the Dream Act or equivalent. Hell, we should all support smart and fair CIR. However, the grander the bill, the less chance of it passing and you all know that.
Initial asks will start big and will eventually be chipped away at... again mainly due to R's that refuse to do what is right and fair. People under the spell of R's will say "that's not what they are elected to do", but cannot see it simply. R's will not do what is right and fair, all politics aside.
