LEAKED MEMO: DREAMers Are ‘Critical’ To Dems ‘Future Electoral Success’

The Center For American Progress (CAP) Action Fund circulated a memo on Monday calling illegal immigrants brought here at a young age — so-called “Dreamers” — a “critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success.”

The memo, co-authored by former Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri, was sent around to allies calling on Democrats to “refuse to offer any votes for Republican spending bills that do not offer a fix for Dreamers and instead appropriate funds to deport them.”
...
“The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success,” reads Palmieri’s memo, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“If Democrats don’t try to do everything in their power to defend Dreamers, that will jeopardize Democrats’ electoral chances in 2018 and beyond,” reads the memo. “In short, the next few weeks will tell us a lot about the Democratic Party and its long-term electoral prospects.”

Well, finally, evidence what DACA really means for Democrats and the DNC. A leaked memo, wait for new claims of the "The Russians did it", was posted two days ago by "The Daily Caller". However, it seems that "americanprogressinaction" has gone into "denial mode" by making the memo inaccessible.

Here is the error that appears now from the link.

But The Daily Caller gives another link and posted the memo through scribd.

Here are the juicy parts, and what DACA and "dreamers" actually means to the DNC and democrats in power.

...
The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success. Donald Trump and the Republican Party continue to jeopardize the futures of millions of Dreamers and their families and throw up roadblocks to meaningful legislative reform, and it is up to Democrats to stand up for them.
...
If Democrats don’t try to do everything in their power to defend Dreamers, that will jeopardize Democrats’ electoral chances in 2018 and beyond. In short, the next few weeks will tell us a lot about the Democratic Party and its long-term electoral prospects.

That's the fact of what "Dreamers" mean for democrats. In this leaked memo, which was co-authored by former Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri, democrats admit that without making dreamers legal, democrats have no chance of success in 2018 and beyond.

That's all "Dreamers" are to the DNC and democrats in power, a vote and the only chance of succeeding in future elections.

Ha. Then the Dems are on the wrong track and out of touch with reality. Hillary was the problem with the last election. She cheated in the primaries, and was very unlikable. Obama, Biden, Sanders could have all beaten Trump.

We need better candidates.. that's always been the issue.

So the Democrats are being honest. I have no problem with that. They ARE a political party.

Oh wow. They have painted themselves blue into a corner. And the building is on fire.

Title:

"Re: Defending Dreamers is a Moral Imperative and a Defining Political Moment for Democrats"

It's right in the memo what she's referring to:

Political allegiances are made in moments like these. Voters want to know that politicians and leaders are with them and ultimately one of them. Once that becomes clear, voters will also stand with those leaders.That is the key lesson to draw from the political realignment that took place in California in the years following the enactment of Proposition 187. Although support for Republicans among California Latinos had been on the rise in the years preceding that ballot initiative, the anger and alienation felt by Latino residents—and by some white Republican voters, as well—led to a rapid seismic shift in the political landscape of the state. But that happened not only because a large share of the electorate turned away from the Republican Party, but also because they were welcomed by the Democratic Party. Instead of apathy these voters took action. That action and the subsequent shift in the political landscape might not have been possible had Democrats not joined the fight and stood with the community on principle

For Democrats, the risk is that Latinos fail to see them as a true ally, and as a result sit out crucial elections. A September poll by Latino Decisions found that 91 percent of Latinos want Congress to pass a Dream Act with a path to earned citizenship. But public support for Dreamers extends far beyond Latinos. For some context, a fall WashingtonPost-ABC poll found 86 percentof Americans support protecting Dreamers. Similarly, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found that only 15 percent of Americans believe that Dreamers should be deported—the ultimate result of Trump’s decision and continued congressional inaction.

91% of Latinos polled want a Dream Act passed and 86% of Americans as a whole. Yeah, that would making sticking to their guns on DACA critical.

Meanwhile, what percentage of Americans want a stupid border wall?

This "bombshell" of yours is just a Democrat stating the obvious about Democrats needing to be responsive to their base and to the majority of Americans when it comes to DACA.

Trump would do well to heed the advice himself.

LOL, honest?... you do know what a "leaked memo means"?... You also did see that the link which was being passed to DNC officials is now being denied in the DNC attempt to make this story and the memo go away?

The DNC/democrats in power weren't being honest, they were telling each other in a memo that without making the dreamers legal their future elections have no chance.

i am hoping that with President Trump in office, we can finally stop democrat and "santuary" states which have passed laws which make it easy for illegals and non-citizens to vote. Laws such as the one in which people getting their driver license would immediately be made as "voters", etc.

Nice try but big fail on your part.

Pleae explain the liberal outrage on every social media site right now about an illegal immigration raid that kicked into gear now after 4 years. They are blaming Turmp and still ignore completely that Obama is responsible. Liberals need DACA and they are willing to risk the lives of american citizens to keep their democrat voters. They are completely unhinged.

Immigration Agents Descend on 7-Eleven Stores in 17 States

Oh that sucks.

Wednesday's operation arose from a 2013 investigation that resulted in charges against nine 7-Eleven franchisees and managers in New York and Virginia. Eight have pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay more than $2.6 million in back wages, and the ninth was arrested in November.

Mexico lost war to America. They signed the treaty and ceded California and Texas and Nevada and New Mexico and Arizona to America. If they have honor, they should never come back to America.

They are welcome if they come through the legal way but illegal aliens do more harm than good. That is just common sense.

That is so true: Hillary is the reason we have Trump now.

this is the problem with a public face and a private face

a reply to: theantediluvian

Polls huh?... You mean like the left-wing polls which claimed that Hillary was 100% going to be elected?... You mean that kind of polls?...

And about your "claim" that "democrats are doing it because they think it's a moral imperative"... You mean like the claims made in public by Hillary that "she supposedly loves and respects latinos"? Then we got the "leaked emails, which you made a thread trying to claim came from the "Russians" when it was another made up story from Crowdstrike.... Emails in which Hillary shows her contempt for Latinos by calling us "needy Latinos" among other insults to Latinos and other Americans?...

Really 86% of Americans do ?

Funny how not even 86% of this country even votes.

Heck, Perhaps "Ante" among some others need to explain how is it possible that Obama did more to deport regular Mexican illegals, but did more to allow illegal hard core criminals into the U.S. and he gave direct orders to ICE to release into our streets hard core criminals who are also illegals...

Obama as President deported more regular illegal Mexicans than former President Bush and Bush Sr. The only other democrat who deported more illegal aliens was Bill Clinton, who deported 12 million+ latinos with less money than ICE has gotten in recent years, yet even receiving more money these days democrats are now claiming that "it's impossible to deport so many illegal aliens"... You have got to wonder why democrats have changed tune... oh wait, this leaked memo says it all...

a reply to: Perfectenemy

Exactly, I agree with you.

My wife is a LEGAL immigrant from Europe. We fought hard, and paid dearly and worked our butts off to get her her provisional Green card, and universe willing, we will get the permanent one this coming summer.

She, AN IMMIGRANT supports Trump supporting IMMIGRATION law because guess what? (it's obvious) we both respect the law of this country and want to do it the right way.

Whenever a government gives a certain amnesty to illegals as is happening in certain State governments it is egregious and wrong. Otherwise why do it the right way?

It is the way of the democrats to tear the country apart. And it is also a way the democrats tear the country apart. At least on this issue.


As the honourable poster under me YommieG says 'Mexico lost war to America. They signed the treaty and ceded California and Texas and Nevada and New Mexico and Arizona to America. If they have honor, they should never come back to America. '

I disagree with the 'never come back part' , but do it the right way. No matter where you come from.


All this sanctuary SH## is totally against all principle and rule of law. Without law we are no better than animals.

I have good friends California and I think that the state there should be split in two. Southern california is totally off its nutcase. Off it's rocker. Totally gone.

I wasn't polled.

No one asked me and last I checked I made up part of America. Kind of makes me think these polls have an accuracy issue...

you COULD interpret the memo as 'save dreamers so they can vote democrat'

if you're an idiot.

Ah, resorting to insulting an ATS member, how original. I guess that's the evidence you need... But evidence like the obvious disdain and similar insults as the ones you are making at me were used by your witch of the West (Hillary) towards Latinos...

Perhaps you insulting a Latino ATS member, that's me, is showing your true colors and the fact that deep inside "left-wingers" like yourself only hate Latinos, but you need us so you try to play nice...
