DREAM activists were all over Washington, DC and the US Capitol this last week, some even thrown in jail, attempting to persuade Democratic representatives and Senators to vote against a continuing resolution which left out relief for DACA beneficiaries (aka DREAMers). The CR passed with 66 votes, including a whole mess of Dems.
Specifically, activists were asking for a clean DREAM Act, but since Republicans and Trump failed to move the needle on it, activists then called on the only group they thought would be allies–Democrats–to vote against the continuing resolution with the hopes of a shutdown or at least a show of strength. Instead, a list of electeds now called the #DeportationCaucus was created, and a whole lot of Democrats are on it. And there’s also a list of Dems in the House.
Needless to say, negotiations are supposed to continue in January; however, what “enforcement” and “border security” provisions will be added by Trump are still not known. Certainly, it won’t be a clean DREAM Act given Trump and the Republicans’ hell-bent attitude toward immigrants. The Dems on the #DeportationCaucus are certainly a list of Senators to lobby, though, it’s probably too late to target them in the Primary.
So, here are the Democrats on #DeportationCaucus:
