I was given the opportunity to participate at a meeting last week with key Senators. The purpose of this meeting was to talk about how to move immigration reform forward. Invitations to this meeting went out to every sector of the movement. Some of the people present at the meeting were Farm Workers Alliances, NCLR, SEIU, RI4A, and about 20 other national organizations.

In the end, I saw a growing sentiment to move DREAM. DREAM definitely dominated the conversation.

What was not clear at the meeting was the way to move these legislations. There is a large concern that if DREAM is moved as a stand alone bill, meaning its put on the floor to be debated, anti-immigrant amendments will be added to it.

The result and what we took from this meeting is that we need to unite. We should be ready to fight hard when DREAM is put on the floor for a vote. I cant wait for that day to come, when DREAM passes there is going to be a combination of laughs and tears.

What everyone here needs to realize is that the only reason the DA dominated the conversation is because we have not let go of the issue. Unfortunately, it seems like it's just a hand full of us making calls and actively participating in general, while the majority just sits around bitching about how nothing gets done.

If EVERY SINGLE member of this forum made 1 phone call a day, the Dream Act would've been attached to another bill a long time ago.

First of all I don't think SoB was being negative. Honestly I have no idea what his comment was meant to represent so to label it one or the other seems weird.

That aside, the best part about this article is that it is neither good nor bad. It just states the facts, and it is both good reporting and exactly what we need right now. Positive as well as negative articles do us no good, and just create unsubstantiated feelings.
