For some it is still worth fighting for, for others it is too little to late. Regardless of where you stand one thing is clear this is not the same Bill that inspired a 10 year movement on college campuses. It is not the same bill that immigrants rights orgs and activists held their nose and supported when CIR lost it's last chance. It is the new and degraded Republican DREAM Act and here are the major changes:

After California Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked ICE to halt the deportation of San Francisco nursing student Steve Li this past weekend, she made good on her promise to try to keep Li in the country.

Mr. Li and Supervisor Avalos do not mention this-- instead they only talk about education. For some, especially those who can afford it, isn't this great?
But most of the the poor, many immigrants, the opportunity to serve in the military will always be a a more viable choice than an education.
These spokespeople for the "Dream Act" should be ashamed of themselves for sacrificing others for their own opportunity.
They should expose this sham for what it is and demand amnesty for all immigrants.
