He is referring to parents who crossed the border only, not visa over-stays. And if I'm not mistaking he said that that is how current law works. Since I am an over-stay I don't have much knowledge about the options that people who entered illegally currently have to adjust, but I do know that over-stays can be petitioned by a US citizen son/daughter over 21 and adjust in just 6 months. My friend is petitioning her mom.

Beneficiaries to petition for their parents only. email and call Hutchison's office
