The first thing obama did when he became president was stop that fence. so their your conflict right there.... the bill do need some common sense into writing it which its lacking but like my friend up there said it how to getting the message across better.

The only thing that would be fair and answer their stupid criticisms would be to specifically bar DREAMers from sponsoring family members later, as an answer to the bogus "chain migration" theory.

The real solution, though, is to win votes and seats for pro-immigrant candidates. If extremists can't win elections, that sends a better message than a million phone calls.

I mean should we say bachelors degree and 10 year conditional status? What do you guys think the Republican Dream Act would ask for?
