I have options of marriage, and with my father being a USC and me Canadian, well Canadians are treated very very differently by USCIS, so it's more of a matter of time.

Chances are if DA passed and I was eligible to go into it, I would just go into the military. I mean for reasons as you have said, college costs a lot. If they don't allow tuition or financial assistance outside of taking out a loan I think it's a big problem. I mean if I was going to go the college route I would just move back in with my parents work for a year or two save the money and go to college for 4 years. To me just seems easier and less debt to join the military what can happen? I can die, well there are worse things then dying and living in the shadows and not living a full , rich, and normal life is one such thing.

To me the immigration problem in general is simple. First secure the boarders so the republicans can't whine. Put people to work guarding all of it north and south(granted Canadians aren't exactly sneaking in, but it would create more jobs.) in the situation of DA I think it's garbage, I think they should let people in our situation pay a fine and allow us our green card. For CIR, deport all violent, sexual offenders. Remove the ban for overstaying and have people leave to their home country and apply to come back in via a new point system. I.E. family/education based.

Son or daughter wife or husband of usc/bachelors/masters would have priority, then work your way down from there, brother/sister/mother/father/farmwork, etc. Granted this may be flawed, but they need a system that rewards education and family members of USC's in a timely manner, none of this 3 year wait for a i130 to be approved shit.

When it comes down to it they have to do something, I have never been a burden on america, no welfare or social assistance of any kind. I have paid taxes like many of you do, my family are all Americans. We have all been here since we were young through no fault of our own, we should not be persecuted becomes of what our parents did.

i know that. you have to be under 30 to be eligible to complete those requirements. the retroactive provision is there so that those who are under 30 who have already finished 2 years college or military can benefit. it doesnt mean that you can be 40 and still be eligible. learn simple english, por favor.
