O's Blueprint

Whitehouse just published the document.

Important Part:

Awesome, now do something besides a speech and then I'll believe.

So this means someone left the country and is now serving a 10 year ban will be reinstated?

In 2010, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that last year’s DREAM Act, which would help keep educated young people in the U.S. who were brought here by their parents as children, grew up in our country, and who know no other home, would reduce the deficit by $1.4 billion over the next 10 years, because of increased tax revenues.

wth? the wait for those people applying for visas outside the country is long as hell. So lets say they get through those visas and you have to wait 8 years to be a permanent resident.. what will your status be during the wait?
Would people still be deemed undocumented and without permission to work and drive and other rights that residents have?

hahaha. Watch the economy collapse and these plans will be right out the window. It just doesn't seem very sensible to me.

DA was the closest thing to immigration that this country was willing to accept because most people can agree that the USA is a highly desirable place to live and thus you should meet certain criteria like speaking the language and being a law abiding person. Ugh... This is just one hot mess.

During those 8 years, you have a work permit and become legal. You will be able to drive also. Just not the rights that USC and/or PR have.

Will a special status be created for this specific reason or will an existing status be assigned? How do you know this? Sources please. aka not wikipedia.

For this specific reason. You will have a work Visa to stay in USA. Read the whole Blueprint. 2006 and 2007 was a similar bill also. You can only have one status.

Yeah, that actually confused me too. Does that means that we won't be able to get any legal documents until after all those who have petitioned legally got theirs?....Which could actually be as long as 5-15 years depending on their sponsors and process. But "completing all the requirements for this legalization process" basically means that we would have "pending" applications, which would save us from being deported. So in other words, no rights for 5-15 years, but not deportable either.

That would make us American stowaways, but no one can kick us out. If you think about it, it's kind of a lose-lose situation.
