About time.Lets see them all put their money where their mouth is.

I think the best chance we have right now is to send the DA by itself or possible attached with the bill banning the Widow Penalty to make it seem more humane. Hopefully they make some compromises in this meeting and we get some swift action.

Really good news, Ianus. :D

Now, we just have to hope that some sort of substantial result from this meeting.

Love the idea because I and my mom suffered the widow penalty.

Re: Immigration, back on the schedule, quietly
 

I hope I to actually see some positive news and especially actions towards a comprehensive immigration reform rather than the promises that we hear everyday.

Excuse my ignorance but can somebody explain to me what the Widow Penalty is.

Thanks.

Re: Immigration, back on the schedule, quietly
 

I agree, lets hear some concrete stuff, not just empty promises.

I think the widow penalty is when a spouse(A) is in the process of being legalized through the other spouse(B), but that spouse(B) passes away and then spouse (A) can not be legalized, due to the death.

The marriage must be:
1) At least 2 years.
2) They must have been interviewed once.
Other wise, widows and widowers will be rejected and be placed in removal proceedings.
