The problem w/ Parole is that it no longer makes us "special".

It lumps us in with a bunch of other categories of migrants - some considered less "deserving".
It increases the numbers of people in this quasi-legal status from 800k to 7M.
That's a huge jump.
It's a lot harder to convince people to give out greencards to that many people at once.

Also - there's a real possibility that because we're no longer "unique" in our struggle... our plight will get ignored even more. That our thunder will be stolen by other groups who will have more numbers and a very different agenda in mind.

I think it was a mistake of the DACA movement to mix our stuff with the TPS people and other social justice movements.

Nothing wrong with them but that's the main problem with every social justice movement- they're always trying to be inclusive and when you are too inclusive and include too many in the movement:
The movement becomes too large and shaky. The scope and size of the movement becomes too great and too impossible to achieve.
Too many people pulling the movement in too many different directions.

We went from being about legalizing ourselves to this wild and impossible position that "no human is illegal" and that we should legalize everyone.
That's impossible.
It's not gonna happen.
These goddamn UWD liberals keep pushing that shit so they can get their donation dollars. They don't want something small but achievable that includes most of what we want.
Oh no.
They always ask for a pie in the moon and it always fails.
