I would say keep the requirements the same as daca, those who never got to apply for DACA should be allowed

The ironic part is that once you finish boot camp, or as you finish boot camp, you are eligible for citizenship.

Brothers and sisters,

People from Honduras and Nicaragua have had TPS since 1998 and El Salvador since 2001.

Twenty and eighteen years, respectively. Without sounding ignorant, could someone please tell me why they still need TPS after two decades? I mean, they've had many years to adjust, they still have time to adjust, why keep TPS around?

For us DREAMers, we had to go through our childhood and into our adulthood with nothing, so adjusting wasn't as easy as having legal, albeit, temporary presence here.

Just saying.

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

Just like DREAMers most can't adjust their status unless they leave the country. Why would it be different for the rest of the undocumented population?

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

Because there is no path to citizenship for those on TPS, you can't seriously be this uninformed right?

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

They should have applied for citizenship a long time ago.

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

Just fill out the form and get in line.

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

I'm not necessarily uninformed, I am attempting to get us to think and discuss; not stirring the pot.

Do you guys think if DREAMers had DACA for twenty years that we would still be applying, year after year after year after year...

or would we have adjusted within that time frame? If we could calculate that, I'd reckon a majority of us would adjust way before that. There are channels to adjust. It's not like they were barred from being petitioned.

Re: GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy
 

Yes if that was the only choice for some type of status that you had. What are those channels and why are you still here if they exist? Not blasting you but I really want to know.
