The budget bill Congress passed on Friday morning has met with fury from immigrant groups – who have accused Democrats of betraying Dreamers. Make the Road and United We Dream, a youth-led immigrant group, are urging activists to call their representatives to stress the need for protection for Dreamers. Make the Road Action (@MaketheRoadAct) Here are the 73 Democrats that betrayed immigrant youth and families this morning by voting for a budget bill that excludes #Dreamers. Angel Padilla, policy director for Indivisible, tweeted that the vote “should prove to dreamers that just because democrats are better than the alternative doesn’t automatically make them your friends”. Theoretically, Dems no longer need to win any seats in our Lean R column to win a majority.
