LEAKED MEMO: DREAMers Are ‘Critical’ To Dems ‘Future Electoral Success’

http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/08/le...toral-success/


The Center For American Progress (CAP) Action Fund circulated a memo on Monday calling illegal immigrants brought here at a young age — so-called “Dreamers” — a “critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success.”

The memo, co-authored by former Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri, was sent around to allies calling on Democrats to “refuse to offer any votes for Republican spending bills that do not offer a fix for Dreamers and instead appropriate funds to deport them.”

President Donald Trump’s administration moved to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy in September, which former President Barack Obama instituted through executive order to keep immigrants who came here as children from being deported.

Trump called on Congress to find a legislative fix for young immigrants, or “Dreamers,” facing deportation. House lawmakers recently put forward a bipartisan DACA compromise bill that also claims to address worries over chain migration. However, it’s unclear if the bill will pass.

CAP Action’s memo says protecting DACA is not only a “moral imperative” for Democrats, it also key to getting votes.

“The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success,” reads Palmieri’s memo, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“If Democrats don’t try to do everything in their power to defend Dreamers, that will jeopardize Democrats’ electoral chances in 2018 and beyond,” reads the memo. “In short, the next few weeks will tell us a lot about the Democratic Party and its long-term electoral prospects.”

Fox News Host Tucker Carlson confronted Center for American Progress senior fellow Henry Fernandez on the memo. CAP Action is the 501(c)(4) political group, a sister group of the think tank where Fernandez is technically employed.



This is huge. The Center for American Progress has a lot of sway on the Democratic party.

This is the full memo.

fucking retarded to come right out publicly with this shit...

Thanks for the find. As I have been saying, we aint going back in the shadows. Permanent would be great but I will take something temporary as well. Beggars cannot be choosers.

Yes we are critical. We will surely be voting for Democrats 15-20 years from now. Gtfo

I'm independent af right now. I'm not gonna blindly follow a political party like this is some sports game. If I do vote, it will be on the candidate

I don't think a temporary bill will happen. They seem to want a fix and a temporary one doesn't fix the problem.

Well if they fail to pass something by the 19th a Bridge Act seems likely

It's common sense. Nothing really suppress the century.

Source? And how did this thread get derailed once again for a discussion about the Bridge Act? For months, I haven't heard a single Democrat mention the Bridge Act. The other article quoted in another thread says that even Trump wants something permanent, not another stopgap. The only people who have mentioned it is Grassley and the Senate Republican leadership because they likes his own bill, a bill no Democrat or moderate Republican would support.

If it happens or if there is talk about the Bridge Act, I will recant with no reluctance. But I don't see any indication that a clean Bridge Act is happening.

Yes but not in a sense that we will vote 15 or 20 odd years from now (many of us might not even become USC) instead we will boost Hispanic support of the party
