I believe that DOMA is unconstitutional and if we can push that point forward, perhaps we can make some headway. <br /><br />I think that CIR is going to be very difficult to pass because the average American has such a negative view on immigration due to the stilted view of immigrants by the news media. When do ordinary Americans hear any good stories about undocumented immigrants? Answer is never, because they are living under the radar. All people hear is when something bad happens that involves an undocumented immigrant. This is going to be a very difficult stereotype to dispel. The other problem is the economy... people watch tv and think that immigrants are coming in and taking all the jobs from Americans--- ridiculous thinking, but this is what we are up against when we try to pass CIR.<br /><br />Bottom line, lets start focusing on repeal of DOMA -- we still should work on UAFA support, which helps us with getting the word out about our issue... that is still a big problem for us -- people don't know about our issue until the issue hits their home.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956468023609438271noreply@blogger.com
