In other words, the Dream Act has always been just a marketing gimmick to sneak thru a general amnesty, rather than a targeted measure to fix the problem of a unique sliver of the illegal population.
Yes, the fight starts with the Dreamers but the goal is to legalize their parents, their siblings and the majority of the 11M undocumented immigrants. This is the REAL immigration reform (not what Trump and the GOP are proposing).
