Well looks like parents of US Citizens should start getting ready for this. 2 million seems like a small number. It is what it is. I have given up on this Congress and whatever Barry does is what happens. All I know if my parents and your parents are excluded, it is unfair and this will be a very sad holiday season. Good luck to all your families.

Trying to guess is really frustrating. Whatever the number is, if any, how will they determine who gets to go to the front of the line?

Let's say an undocumented couple enters the U.S. and two years later the mom gives birth to a child here on U.S. soil. As the parents of a U.S. citizen who is still an infant, it would make sense that these guys would go to the front of the line over just about everybody else.

Now let's twist it a little bit: what if it's the parents of a U.S. citizen who is now, for instance, 18 years old? Do they deserve to go to the front of the line over an individual who has no children but yet has been here in the country for let's say, 20 years?

I get that one of the biggest things is keeping families together and whatnot. I'm not disputing that, but some kind of well-thought-out plan needs to be put together.

What if one of the parents is a US citizen? The combinations are endless lol

My parents and I have always payed our Taxes so it should be smooth sailing if they do it by years of residence. Muahaha. I hope he goes bold enough to cover at least 5 million people. The two million mark that was mentioned, while it is something, is not enough.
