Yeah, we'll can you work?

Well then the goddamn cut off date better not be before 2000, or even 2005, because then it would leave out many of the dreamers.

Like I said, the cutoff date should be in the last 3 years.

3 years is probably not enough

I don't know, I know this version is going to look significantly different that the ones we have seen to date. I think it just hasn't sunk into everyone's minds that this bill is not going to be the same bill without a direct path to citizenship, baring existing channels.

My Predicition

An Age cap of 25-30
Entry Cap of of within the last 10 years

Its a republican bill, as Rubio meets with other republicans on the issue it is going to get tougher until there is a compromise.

My guess is can't have been convicted in a court of law.

Also, at least they let you go. Folks I know over here who have been stopped without an ID have been taken down to the station, identified, turned over to ICE.

Good point because Dream Act has been around since 2001 and there are Dreamers from the 80s and 90's waiting.

Can't wait to see it all unfold. I'm still a primary supporter of the original, but in times like these getting an opportunity to even temporarily fix is a dream come true. Do you think they will still go through with it if Romney loses the General Election?

But you do sound ungrateful. Many are not as fortunate as you are. We have no hope, you can just go marry off. Good for you. Go do it and leave DA then. A non-immigrant visa would still help you, don't be greedy.

That's the golden question. I'm right now inclined to say no. Rubio's attitude in terms of racing through this legislation and getting it debated and passed in the "fall" smacks to me much of election year politics. So am I saying that this is partly an election year ploy? Yes. So it does seem very likely this is voted on before december if not in DECEMBER.

This bill though only has a chance of being launched next year under three different conditions

1.The Repubs lose major seats in the house
2. Dems retain senate with certain blue dog senators(the golden five) losing seats to be replaced by rockerfeller republicans(unlikely).
3. If there still exists some impetus of some kind to launch immigration reform of any degree.

Personally I think if the Rubio bill fails(highly likely right now due to the GOP house), I think pressure is going to mount on Obama to issue an executive order. If not, the Repubs will have a golden chance to steal the latino vote and Obama will be viewed as the man who failed to do the moral thing in his second term.
