OT – Illegal’s, Arizona, and Obama…

flu’s friend, however, despite having her own legal money-earning opportunity in America (H1B job), seems resentful of the possible, not even yet provided, path to legalization for other immigrants.[/quote]

And if you bothered to peruse some of the forums frequented by people who entered and reside in the country legally you would have a chance to develop better understanding of flu’s friend’s reasoning.

Employment-based track being held hostage by pro-illegal caucus being one. There are people who came here 10 years ago who are still on H1B due to administrative inefficiencies. I know of a family where the older kid was 12 when they arrived in 2001. The kid aged out and left the country and they are still waiting for their permanent residency.

The Dream act is for the folks who’s PARENTS brought them to the US illegally (they had to be under 15 when they arrive) can serve in the military and gain a path to citizenship.

It is also for the kids who ‘aged out’. Once you turn 18 you lose your status as an H1B dependent. If there is a permanent residency application pending it gets canceled. You can try to re-enter on student’s visa, but with parents in the GC line you are unlikely to get it.

[quote=TenaciousSD]This just in: GOP blocked the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ and killed the Dream Act.

“The Senate vote, 56-43, falls short of the 60 needed to begin debate on a bill that includes the policy on gays in the military. The vote also holds up the Dream Act, a route to citizenship for those who have attended college or served in the military.”

This just in: The Democrats have 60 votes in the Senate…enough to pass ANYTHING without the GOP. Maybe you should focus on the 4 Democrats that voted no.

Not all Democrats think alike and neither do all Republicans. Some Republicans actually support comprehensive immigration reform.
