Benita is first undocumented person to ever speak at a national convention. Mitt Romney wants her to self-deport.
@JoeSudbay I really hope Dem Party finds a way to continue supporting young people who've spoken at this Convention.

@emptywheel Dem Party & DC advocacy groups should hire DREAMers who could teach them how to do effective activism -
@JoeSudbay at NN last year in the Latino caucus, they said they were modeling themselves after the Lgbt movement -
@sjgloria yes. we have much in common - and many DREAMers are LGBT. -
@JoeSudbay also, a number of DREAMers stood in front of Sen Reid and for the most part were ignored by Lgbt bloggers. Evolution -
@sjgloria LGBT activists & DREAMers did a great panel on DADT & DREAM at NN11, then repeated at SXSW this year. Both made change happen
