I love "regorm".

"For instance, individuals who entered the United States as minor children did not knowingly choose to violate any immigration laws. Consequently, under our proposal these individuals will not face the same requirements as other individuals in order to earn a path to citizenship."dream act??

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Lol sorry I just realized!!! I was using my iphone and half-asleep. It should say Reform!

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

I guess they're just going to give all DACA people a green card.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Wouldn't that be awesome if they did?

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Must be some type of Ogre.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

"Individuals who are present without lawful status ... will only receive a green card"
Green card and that's it? No Citizenship? Okay.

"For instance, individuals who entered the United States as minor children did not knowingly choose to violate any immigration laws ... these individuals will not face the same requirements as other individuals in order to earn a path to citizenship"

I'm having trouble interpreting that. We will be getting GC and then get the opportunity to get citizenships? and what requirements again?

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Yea it's basicly a 5 year wait then tests for citizenship

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

The next step after someone receives a GC is citizenship.. I think the wait (as of right now) is 5 years after GC.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

The wait from residency to citizenship has been 5 years since 1790, when George Washington was president. I don't think it'll change.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

what happens after citizenship?!!!













JK
The wait for citizenship for a green card holder is 3 years (if married with US citizen) or 5 years if not married.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Of course, I forgot about the immigration system and all of its deviations..
There is also different wait for people with GC who enroll in the Military.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

How long is the wait for those who go in the military?

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

^Those details are not yet clear.... but if you look at the reform blueprint clearly Agjobs and Dreamers will be prioritized for legalization.I believe in the last Kennedy-Kyl bill Dreamers would have attained US residency in ~3 years.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Corrected it for you. ;)

Is obama giving the speech today or Tuesday, because my mom tells me its today but I read an article that its on Tuesday. also what time will he speak.

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Individuals who are present without lawful status - not including people within the two categories identified below - will only receive a green card after every individual who is already waiting in line for a green card, at the time this legislation is enacted, has received their green card. Our purpose is to ensure that no one who has violated America's immigration laws will receive preferential treatment as they relate to those individuals who have complied with the law.

I have question about that which I'm sure it will be addressed in the details. What will they do about people who are undocumented, but are "in the line" and will face a 10 year ban should they leave the U.S. to adjust their status? Extend 245i?

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Not sure on the time, but it is tomorrow.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Eeeek! So excited! :mrgreen: I'm so not going to miss it like the DACA announcement!

Re: Reform blueprint
 

I'm happy with this bipartisan proposal, it is humane and comprehensive.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

But I'm still wondering something. How are they going to keep track of visa overstays? Will they automatically become ICE fugitives once their permitted status expires?

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Oh even though my daca isnt approved yet. This makes me very happy!!!!

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

That is a good question.The outline doesn't seem to cover that possibility.It currently seems to treat them as already "in the line" but still open to the possibility of general legalization.

I can only assume that the general probationary period might actually cure an individual of unlawful presence allowing the individual to seek status in other ways.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

"We believe requiring prospectiveworkers to demonstrate both legal status and identity, through non-forgeable electronic means prior to obtaining employment"...

Oh, my God, I was right!!!!! They are in the midst of creating a National Identity File for every resident in the U.S. It is supposed to be modeled after Facebook (believe me or not), where not only every person's identity is filed, but also that of their families and connections.

When you present yourself for employement, school, etc, they will bring up your file, and be able to see that the person in front of them is really you. This is mainly for identity theft, and resonably and understandly so, people steal your name, dob, etc, but they cannot steal your face. The other elements of reform in this bluepring mirror those of an original essay a friend forwarded me and in which the blueprint for "prosecutorial discretion" enfocement (the Morton Memo) was included. I might just post that original immigration reform plan here...

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Does anyone know if there is a certain number of years required??? like 5 years or 10... etc. I'm curious

Re: Regorm blueprint
 

Let's hope that's the case. I know several DREAMers here (myself included) have undocumented relatives waiting on family-based petitions. I just hope they see that as a potential issue to address, as well.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Military details. Lets go!!

Re: Reform blueprint
 

No actual specifics (i.e. how long you have to prove continuous presence for) in the released blueprint.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Care to post it? Or PM it? I'd be very interested in reading it.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

Did anybody understand the difference between people on "probationary lawful status" and people "without lawful status?" I know the former means those whom passed the background check, paid fine, and back taxes, but is the latter people who hypothetically failed to do that? Because apparently they still get a chance to get a green card as long as they go to the back of the line... Based on the information under the number one.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

CNN just said the congressmen will have a pres conference soon, not sure when though.

Re: Reform blueprint
 

I am too, but details are super important. Here in Texas we say "Remember the Alamo" well I would like to modify that a bit. Remember Rubio!
