Many an immigrant rights activist and blogger (not to mention immigrant students themselves) is mourning the defeat of the DREAM Act this week. And rightly so. But while we should indeed be saddened by this legislative defeat, there’s actually little time to do so given the threat looms on the electoral horizon: anti-immigrant Democrats joining Republicans.

Beneath the death of the Dream Act lies an even deadlier (as in more desert dead and more detained children and families) future previewed in key developments this week. Among the most disconcerting developments are statements about immigration made this week by Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the powerful chairman of the House Democratic Caucus and an architect of the Democratic congressional victories of 2006. Emmanuel is quoted as saying that immigration “has emerged as the third rail of American politics, and anyone who doesn’t realize that isn’t with the American people.” He also added that “This issue has real implications for the country. It captures all the American people’s anger and frustration not only with immigration, but with the economy,” and that “It’s self-evident. This is a big problem.””*
