-This is the best play for the republicans because once they have control immigration will be tabled once again HAHA. ( <-- dirty trick)
-Now if the democrats don't fight this bill and just make sure its FAIR! then they can champion the fact they were able to come together for a bipartisan humanitarian bill affecting all walks of life and every person in this country 99% or not. Thus, they can still hold the immigrant vote and make this election about other issues.
---This said whatever bill comes up as long as its FAIR! it needs to be passed. All politics needs to be set aside and the immigrant community needs to stand together on this fight. (STOP DREAMING AND START ACTUALLY ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT SOME LAWS WERE BROKEN AND IF THE PUNISHMENT IS A LINE THEN SO BE IT) Tabling the issue will guarantee another 4 year hold on the issue when once again it will become a election year debate issue and nothing more.
---And this argument about C.I.R. isn't solving anything. One fight at a time, especially when your the underdog.

I want to craft a solution that deals with them, with real life stories, with real life people. So I'm coming back to my 100 Ideas 'idea raisers' concept ... Sitting down with them and really trying to understand their personal predicaments and how we can address those both short-term and long-term."

The DEMOCRATS MUST support or be willing to compromise otherwise the Republicans will SURELY steal some of the hispanic votes if this doesn't happen. ONCE Romney is elected President, that will be the absolute END of CIR/DA as we know it so Obama must be very very careful here. This guy is made up of big money and he is White. Guys even a 12 year old kid can figure there is something fishy going on with the Republican party. I really really hope the Democrats are willing to compromise. The Republicans will have no choice but to vote YAY since they are the ones who brought up the bill. My only concern is the HOUSE. Who is going to introduce the bill overthere???? EVERYBODY get on Smooth's petition now!!
