I am a Hopeful Realist
I think that is the best way I can think of to describe my feelings about tomorrow. Hopeful Realism.
Rumor has it that Pres. Obama will be meeting with Sen. Schumer and Sen. Graham to discuss immigration, presumably with a significant emphasis on Comprehensive Immigration Reform and the status of the bill that has been talked about for what seems like forever. Some people think the grass roots efforts focused on the rally on March 21, is responsible for the renewed presidential interest – maybe they are right. Maybe its the focus on getting something done that has a chance be bipartisan – maybe that’s right. Maybe its the concern over the votes that might not show up for the mid-term elections if immigration is not discussed and changed – maybe that’s right.
The bottom line is, no matter whether it was one or all of these. the fact is, immigration and reform are being discussed. That fact alone brings hope. Right now we will need to take it one day at a time and keep fighting for reform until it arrives.
