Obama: I will do “everything in my power” to enact the Dream Act. - Page 3

It would be amazing if we could organize something large in D.C. itself. Realistically, at this moment, the most we can do is organize smaller protests around the country. I take part in smaller efforts, but I would love to be part of something bigger.

For a rally (let's say) in the future, get people from various groups who advocate for the DREAM Act. Dreamers, immigrant rights groups, and of course people from political groups that normally differ on issues: American progressives who support us, the Conservative Coalition for Immigration Reform, religious groups, etc. Encourage dreamers to come out, ask our teachers/professors who support us to speak, blah blah blah.

If we are able to organize something, just be prepared to be inundated with people telling us we don't even have to right to protest, or that we're criminals, or that we should just go home. But, eh. We get that now anyway.

Yea. I think bringing it to DC is the best possible outcome we can do. Smaller protests around the country is good, but having combined dreamers around the country is best.

I want to watch people come up to me and tell me I have no right to be here and the only response I can tell them is to go do the same because the ONLY ones who truly belong to this country are native americans.

Guys,

With all due respect, but haven't we been doing this grass-roots movement for ten years???? I think I can honestly say that we have done our part. It its time for Obama to flex his political muscle on the issue.

Stfu, Obama. Voters are starting to get cynical. The writing's on the wall.

The Democrats never had the 60 votes needed to bust a filibuster...at most we had 59...and at best we had 54 thanks to the bluedog fucktards who cared more for their re-election than the actual caucus. You saw how the majority voted for it in both houses. I just honestly wish the Democrats hadn't been bent into agreeing to the 60 votes to break a filibuster a few sessions ago then we could have passed it with a simple majority and in that case at the worst it showed how Democrats can be pretty big pussies.

This is getting insulting - he needs Pelosi to do everything he can to pass DREAM Act, when exactly? in the year 2016, eight years after he was elected president???? How many more will be deported or aged out of DREAM by then? I mean, come on. This sounds like desperation, and all of you guys should check out the budget request they have submitted to Congress for immigration enforcement.

Also, what is the deal with the DREAM Act in the actual Congress? It was re-introduced by Durbin in May with a new bill number. One measly hearing in 10 years, preaching to the choir in June. And? What is the plan from here on?

You're right. It is insulting. When oh when?

violence sometimes tends to be effective, and a bit more gratifying...

Repeat said quote until reelection, and then continue repeating it until 2nd term is over. Run out of time. They won't notice.
