With 14 Million estimated undocumented family members and half of those with US Citizen Spouses and Children it remains to be seen if FAMILY FIRST instead of or in addition to Comprehensive will be on the agenda. Given that CIR was not so "comprehensive" and would leave millions of families destroyed and separated it deserved to fail. If the Reform Agenda would DO THE RIGHT THING, which is keeping the parents and spouses of US Citizens living in the same country, instead of carrying water for all the different agenda's of the advocacy agencies and labor movements it might have the possibility of success.
