re: #199 klys (maker of Silmarils)

My guess is because she wants a clean vote on the Dream Act.

(Also apparently one of the progressive immigrant advocacy groups came out against it? Saw something go by on Twitter about it a while ago.)

The cynical part of me says 2020 positioning.

Maybe had something to do with this bit (via CNN):

The plan would also place $25 billion in a guarded trust for border security, would cut a small number of green cards each year for adult children of current green card holders, and would prevent parents from being sponsored for citizenship by their US citizen children if that child gained citizenship through the pathway created in the bill or if they brought the child to the US illegally.

I mean that provision does kind of suck, but I think it’s something you could give up as part of a compromise.
