Republicans have long been adamant on the age requirement and Rubio's proposition(even though likely to fail) will be no different. The way I see it sir is you can either wait for CIR or leave America. Again all the respect in the world to you sir.

Who said I don't have a backup plan, but thanks to retrogression, those plans are now 5 years ahead instead of 2 years. The point is that many people on here have a sense of entitlement that somehow they deserve this more just because they are younger. Political reality is in the eyes of Americans, you are no better than me. In fact, some might say you haven't paid your dues (Newt anyone?) since you are not part of the fabric of the community if you've only been here for 5 years.
There are a lot of "You should have's" and "You Could have's" . Yes, if 15 years ago I knew I would be waiting for another 15 years, I may have made some other choices. I'm sure many of you would have wished your parents made other choices, but the reality is here we are.
