Democratic leaders fighting to enact the Dream Act this year are taking fire from a surprising group: liberal immigrant rights activists.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) sounded off last week after top Democrats cut a tentative agreement with President Trump to pair a Dream Act with tougher immigration enforcement measures.

More recently, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was heckled in her own district over the deal, with a group of young advocates urging Democrats to expand the reform fight beyond the Dreamers to include the other 10 million undocumented immigrants living in the country.


But some activists fear mass deportations will follow any deal that doesn't protect the families of Dreamers, and they know Democrats can claim a political win by simply blocking Trump's wall.

"Pelosi needs to recognize that it’s about families and not just [about] Dreamers," said the advocate. "It seems to me like [activists] are willing to blow up the negotiations to avoid ICE on steroids."


“The leadership needs to work out some type of compromise that will get this resolved by the end of the year. There must be a resolution; it cannot continue to fester,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.). “And unless we get it resolved I think we’re going to begin to see civil unrest, because the Dreamers are impatient.”

Butterfield also warned, however, that the protesters have to tread carefully or they’ll harm their own cause.

“Public opinion now is in their favor. And I would hope that they would not do anything to upend that public opinion, because the momentum is in the favor of immediate reform,” he said. “There’s a fine line, and I think there’s a point beyond which they should not go, to antagonize the leadership.

“We’re at a very fragile point right now in the negotiations.”

I really hope these protesters don't keep on acting stupid just to turn public opinion against dreamers. With their all or nothing approach, I won't put it past them.

More like far-left liberals....The same type of people who would create a guerrila in USA if they had the chance to.

Screw them. I come from Colombia, and far-left liberals are the worst there is.

THIS!

The fear is the longer Congress waits, the longer anti-dreamers both on the far left and right have a chance to protest and create a bigger mess for us.

The word is starting to get out that us Dreamers will get legalized in exchange for border security and enforcement. This will be seen as us against the other undocumented.
