Interesting interview with Leah Durant. Durant is the Executive Director for Progressives for Immigration Reform and one of the people behind the DC March for Jobs Rallies. One of the links I provided asks 2 good questions when it comes to Progressives in this matter. 1. "But if Durant’s assessment is correct, why is the House Immigration Reform Caucus (HIRC), which was built by PFIR’s parent group, FAIR, so overwhelming stocked with Republicans?" and 2. "Furthermore, why does HIRC support immigration policies that in no way align with liberal or progressive politics?"
