Here is a reason to cheer, IMHO. My Spanish is fairly basic, but here is some rough translation of the good stuff.

The best parts for me... when the crows cheers: "El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido!" (The people, united, will never be defeated.)and when the congressman says imagine and fight for the day when you or those you love might get pulled over and can get a ticket for doing something wrong (if you are), but don't have fear, because you have identity documents and can say "you cannot deport me."

"No tenemos la derecha de descansar..." that we don't have the right to rest, to be tired, but that we have the responsibility to keep fighting for y and the people have to stand up, he says, "El pueblo tiene que levantar." and fight for what we feel in our hearts...

Having his support is great, but we're gonna need the Senate to start talks first

yeah, the action item for everyone at the end (from the Director of an org called Chirla) was to call Schumer and ask him not to wait on CIR. oh, and Obama too, but I don't think he will take the lead on this unless we force his hand. which this certainly inspires me to do...
