Either way, lets hope they can all agree on this and get it done ASAP. Republicans have already started throwing around 2018.
I really don't find DREAM Act that extreme, but that's my opinion. Who would we really sway to vote for DREAM Act by lowering the age of entering from 18 to 16, entry date requirement, etc? Let's hope for the best.

I agree. I don’t get people who think it’s extreme. It’s not like it allows us to become citizens instantly.

They're doing not so extreme things like

Government analysis shows House tax bill would increase cost of college by $71 billion over a decade

Or

'All Out Class War': GOP Bill Cuts Taxes for Private Jet Owners, Hikes Taxes on Students

Fuck this government for the rich man.. it's digusting. I thought republics were made so Royalism and Feudalism will be over, guess we were wrong.

What about if they start with one that is already restricted and make it more liberal? Wouldn't that be better?

But it allow some us to get a permanent green card and become citizens in 5 years, then we can request our parents. (From what I have heard please prove me wrong)

That is the extreme the republicans see and they do not like that.

I agree with FL_Dreamer.

He wants to legalize the light skinned people by default. Then we can try and amend the bill for the dark skinned people.

Too liberal? At one point the DA was a bipartisan bill...
