It's do or die. Here is why ALL Republican Senators need to hold the line to filibuster the DREAM Act:

-If DREAM'ers succeed they will be energized to lobby on other controversial Democratic interests
-Other young, idealistic politicos will also be emboldened to push Democratic agenda
-Obama administration will roll over entirely on border control and immigration enforcement, increasing their political lobby and making increased enforcement extremely difficult even in a Republican dominated Congress. You can be sure that chief activists in and outside the White House are already strategizing their next move.
