What I worry about is why it's called the KIDS Act. Are they narrowing the group that would be eligible (i.e. anyone over 18 cannot benefit)? Or are they narrowing the age of entry? Because I distinctly remember them having a tantrum over the age of entry being 16. And it was rumored that Marco's version was going to limit it to those who entered before 13...  |
That would be bad for many of us. In reality, I don't think anybody under 18 could really take a decision to say "I won't move to the US", since at that age it's difficult to find work and live by yourself.
Either way, just passing this and avoiding the rest of the illegal immigrants, and even worse, the immigration system, doesn't help at all. People waiting decades for a visa, people still crossing over (I do support more border security), people overstaying, things won't change and will get worse. IMO, of course.
