Doubtful that Congress will pass a major immigration overhaul anytime soon, a U.S. Chamber of Commerce official said Friday it’s time for a “down payment” bill with a scaled-back focus.
“Right now nothing is getting any traction,” Angelo Amador, the chamber’s director of immigration policy, told an Omaha immigration conference that drew more than 400 people.
“Maybe it’s time to take those things that have gained traction in the past,” he said, and write them into legislation that could gain bipartisan approval.
Among immigration items more broadly tolerated, he said, are programs that would allow legal status to U.S.-raised, college-bound illegal immigrants and to some agricultural workers.

Benjamin-Alvarado said he tended to agree, however, that continued political posturing in Congress will stand in the way of a comprehensive immigration overhaul again this year. He said it is more realistic to push for a “down payment” bill.“Everybody wants the whole enchilada,” Benjamin-Alvarado said. “It’s not happening this year.”

We need to start convincing the national pro-immigration groups like NCLR, America's Voice etc to get on board with this idea. This all or nothing approach doesn't make sense.

It looks like Dream Act is the main focus. This is great.

Dude I think everyone knows La Raza won't be on our side. It is extremely sad. They are the main ones that have the "All or nothing at all' mentality. They're the ones that want the whole enchilada, not us. It would be nice, but since we can't have the whole enchilada I would like just a piece of it.
