A Grand Compromise on Immigration - Page 3

2k is quite a bargain. lawyer fees would amount to over 20k for green card process. They basically turning our parents into the next DACA folks?

DHS has grown so much they need programs like these to pay all their contractors and employees.

Shitty if they can't travel outside of the country.

Yup, at that point they might as well work hard for a few years, save money and leave for their home countries to retire. We might face the same choice if we get permanent DACA.

I don't mind becoming a racist country with a racist wall if I get status lmao. We can fix the country after we're fixed first. We'll start running for office and get this place back on track.

Where does it say the $2000 is every 3 years? The language is not very clear in the article, but it read like Dreamers and TPS gets a path to citizenship, while their relatives are the ones that needs to pay the $2000 every 3 years for protection.

What? First of all ,this isn't going anywhere. Not to sound cynical - but lot of congressmen/women and senators are now hashing out their "immigration reform" plans only so they can have something to say during election time on this area.

Even if this were to pass, I am not sure why some of the folks are complaining about financial aspect of this plan. 2000 dollars -- are you kidding me? I would be willing to pay $2K PER YEAR for the rest of my life as some sort of a "tax" in return of a GC.

Who cares --- 2k is NOTHING!

If you can't afford a measly 2k for permanent status you ought to ask for more hours from your minimum wage job. Ask to flip more burgers, cut more lawns, wash more dishes, write more for your Indian boss while you are Indian.


This is the best immigration plan ever, and that's why it won't go anywhere. It solves the problem head on.


I don't know where liberals get the idea that this place is racist. In true racist nation's we would've been hunted down and shot on sight for illegally immigrating. Here, they are so nice they let us stay in violation of immigration law.

You would think that legislators would be able to write effectively.

This oped would’ve gotten a C in my freshman writing class.

Isn't this just an opinion? Why is everyone going so crazy on it... get back to your real jobs!

P.S. - Nothing has been introduced and nothing will pass unless it is just for DACA/Dreamers. Adding anything above and beyond (i.e. TPS, relatives of DACA etc.) is DOA.
