The story is missing something. Laid off H1B is not entitled to unemployment. You cannot casually jump in and out of H1B status. In most cases losing H1B status leads to cancellation of the GC application. [/quote]

She already had advance parole and her GC application was nearly complete when she was laid off 2 years ago. Her employer was actually nice enough do what was necessary for the paperwork to move along. She’s now waiting for her GC.

She technically could have applied for unemployment benefits since UI taxes were paid on her salary. But her lawyer advised her against it.

She has since found a new job.

Nice friends you have.

You’d be surprised what friends will tell when there’s a certain comfort level.

It might be hard for your friend to have more compassion for people who are in this county illegally while things that you take for granted are out of the reach for her. [/quote]

Perhaps… but her anger at unauthorized immigrants is unwarranted and misdirected. They didn’t do anything to her and the possibility of them obtaining legal status has no bearing on her prospects for a Green Card.

Live and let live.

What needs to happen is a revolution where the working people take control of their own country (here, there, and everywhere — as Concho’s post points out). Unless this happens, things will only get worse for the working class. People need to wake up to what’s really going on.[/quote]

lol.. The US spends an incredible amount of resources to make sure that does not happen around the world. Bribery, political assassination, etc But I like the way you are thinking

Bravo, Concho! Couldn’t agree more.

Now, how do we go about fixing it? That’s the $64 trillion question.[/quote]

**CAUTION** Radical leftist, blame america first POV being expressed. If you think you may be offended, stop reading now!

See, Immigration is essentially driven by America’s OWN grievously immoral, underhanded, fraudulent and criminal actions under a policy of neo-liberal exploitation that has occasioned massive theft, political intrigue and election-tampering, coups, propping-up of corrupt dictators and brutal autocrats, blackmail, assassinations and death-squads, institutionalized terrorism, IMF/WTO/World Bank-imposed privatization and ‘restructuring’ and subsidized agricultural exports that have displaced huge numbers of small farmers, ‘drug-war’ skullduggery and forced de-funding of critical social services and public infrastructure — the concept of ‘illegal immigration’ falls-apart. It is actually economic and political self-defense or economic refuges caused by the very same policies that have made El Norte so “rich”

If you strongly believe that they should close the border to Mexico. On one condition, which is you close it not only to people but to resources. If you say you want to close it to people but not resources, what you’re saying, one thing, is that you’re an asshole, but another thing you’re saying is – I don’t want you but I want the coffee that’s grown on the land that used to be yours before my tax dollars funded paramilitary squads and/or political coups to “privatize” it.

Why is this migration taking place? It’s not taking place because suddenly a bunch of people from Guatemala decide they want to take a tour of the strawberry fields in the San Joaquin valley. It’s because their communities are being destroyed through the, often violent, theft of the land. If you don’t want these people moving up here then don’t steal those people’s lands, pretty simple solution.

Yes there is a xenophobic sleight of hand that is used, as it has been for centuries in America preceding Republican-Democrat nonsense, to point the finger at the victim so as to keep the eyes averted from the horrors being perpetrated upon those victims and to ignore or rationalize the colossal banditry for the beneficiaries. The liberal class is particularly hypocritical and criminally ignorant on this point.

The problem is really quite simple, as is the solution.

The problem: El Norte is pushing them thar “illegals” off of their ancestral lands so as to “privatize” the resources that reside in Chiapas e.g.

The solution: Stop El Norte from “privatizing” the resources of the people in Chiapas e.g.

NAFTA is merely the latest acronym-IMF the latest international syndicate-World Bank only the latest MoneyChanger in this ongoing colonial conquest.

Neither the employer or the “immigrant” are really the fundamental issue.

The brown-skinned man you call “Illegal” is only heading into El Norte to take back what is rightly his. Mr. “Illegal” is only coming to find the stolen goods you see as your birthright Mr. Gringo. Mr. “Illegal” only wants to see what those pretty yellow bananas look like inside the gigantic air-conditioned food warehouse. You know all about the morning blood fruit, right Mr. Gringo? Mr. “Illegal” only walks the grueling pilgrimage towards Never-Never Land, water jugs in hand, to peer over the well-watered hedge into your morning Scottsdale Latte to see if any of his families blood remains in your mug-seems there’s plenty still there- more than he had remembered. Mr. “Illegal” only comes to the Land of Milk and Honey (Did you steal that too Mr. Gringo?) in order to get a brief glimpse of the sweet mango-to remember the taste of the mango that used to be in his backyard until he got NAFTA-ed off his land.

Fixing the root cause, goes in direct opposition to a century of foreign policy. Actually, at this point, I’d say that allowing the “relief valve” to stay open is seen as the best option. Which is why TPTB will never close the borders. They don’t want all of South America all going Venezuela on us.

But, alas, just one of many geopolitical, economic and resource corners El Norte finds himself in.

AP (advance parole) does not make her eligible to work. With AP you can re-enter the country while your I485 application is pending.

To collect unemployment she needs to be able and available to work.

And assuming the petitioner does not withdraw the application an immigration officer might issue RFE (request for evidence) and ask the petitioner to prove that they are able and intend to hire your friend. Operating with loss at any time since starting the process would disqualify them. Being laid off from the company that is petitioning is not helping your friend’s case. RFE for any reason would likely kill her application and not working for the sponsor upon approval can bite her if she ever applies for citizenship.

Most people try not to think about all that, it’s just too stressful.
