Trump Will Sign Merit-Based Immigration Act Very Soon. (DACA) - Page 2

No but we did violate federal immigration law.

The problem: if he does that, Trunp will have no leverage to get wall money. He is not going to give anything without getting something in return. He sure as hell can't build the wall via executive order.

It does look at this moment that Trump Admin will no longer pursue anything through Congress so seems no need at all for leverage. I think that Lawyer Yoo's memo is going to be very important...they seem to be relying on that to think they can do ANYTHING via executive order.

He is not going to give us anything without getting something on the wall.

He can't do anything on wall via executive order even if he does issue such order. Courts will strike it down. What's the point? Attention? People will see through his bullshit. Lol

Let me remind you courts struck down his attempt to redirect military funds to build wall.

A sugar coated way to get rid of DACA. That's what it feels like.

I'm thinking we will have to travel abroad to adjust or some dumb thing like that. Kinda makes me nervous to be honest.

The better option in terms of long term adjustment would be go out on AP and come back. Might be helpful in the future...But obviously avoid this for next year or so due to covid concerns.

I'm not EWI. I do not need AP. The best Trump can do for us is nothing. I'm apprehensive he's about to fuck it up for all of us.

I rather wait for Biden than to be grateful to the orange man regardless.

Visa overstayer who has left and reentered with AP stamp is also very advantegous I feel. I've read it somewhere.

I feel Like he just wants to tangle this up in the courts and hope he wins reelection.
He doesnt wan any NEW Applications or advance parole

It really isn't. AP doesn't clear any prior unlawful presence and doesn't count as admission for purposes of 245(k). In fact it's probably a bit worse since if you enter on parole you're an "arriving alien" or "applicant for admission", meaning that you actually do not have the right to having an IJ review an I-485 denial and ICE can actually issue a removal order against you on their own. It might be advantageous with that an "arriving alien" can file for AOS with USCIS notwithstanding a removal order or pending proceedings but travel with AP while in proceedings or subject to a removal order is pretty much unsafe.

Basically, you don't have much to gain from doing AP as an overstayer.
