The #DreamAct has been introduced again. I lost count of how many times it has been introduced at this point. In 2010, we were so close to passing, and it failed in the Democratic lead Senate by 5 votes. McCain filibustered the bill. 5 Democrats voted no or didn't show up. Why...
... I'm I reminding us of this? Because it doesn't matter how many "path to citizenship" bills are introduced on immigration if Democrats don't have the will to do it. I have no faith in Republicans supporting anything that doesn't give them more xenophobic laws in return.
There is absolutely no reason why we should give Rs ANYTHING that has more "border security", more criminalization of immigrants and more money for ICE/CBP. Trump already did all of that for them, and it was an inhumane disaster.
So we need to call on Dems to keep their promise.

Get all these bills through without accepting any of that crap Republicans want. Get rid of the filibuster. Do everything that can be done to add protection for undocumented workers in the reconciliation package.
That's how I feel about Dream being introduced again. End of rant.

PS: We can't let Biden off the hook either. We need more executive actions to not only undo Trump's actions, but to go beyond that. Keep our communities safe from deportation, detention and allow everyone to live and work in the U.S. with dignity and freedom.
