[BAD SOURCE] From Sen. Durbin's Office: Summary of Changes in New Dream Act - Page 6

If this B.S passes I am not applying. It's basically what I already have with the benefit of leaving the country. I might as well stick with TPS. I get insurance now but if I apply I can't. There is still no grants or aid. It's hard now to get a loan, build credit and other ish. Nothing will change for me. I want the old bill. What about those that actually fought for this from the start? Smh This is not good and to think so is selfish

Guys, I know a lot of you are worried that you may not qualify. I just want to remind you that this is only the senate version of the bill. The democrats know that the chances of getting 60 votes for cloture for this bill is very slim if it was left as is. With these changes, the likelihood increases substantially.

When the senate and house pass bills that aren't identical, they are sent to a committee that will resolve the differences.

so everybody just shut the fuck up and keep calling.

Don't take my word for it though, I'm no expert and this new version changes a lot of the things we thought before. You should still talk to a lawyer.

Student visa abuser is someone who go to public middle school/highschool when their F1 status is still active.

In my interpretation, when your F1 status is terminated, you could attend public highschool. However, if your F1 status is active and you attend public highschool and you abandon the private school, then that constitute the 212(a)(6)(G) violation.

no not true. I could guarantee you that the House will pass whatever that the senate passes because we have only 2 more weeks for this congressional session. There is not enough time to set up a committee.

That's why everyone becomes worried of the new bill

Called Durbin to say I want the old bill back!

Why would you do that? Call Durbin and tell him to do wharever it takes to pass the Dream act.

Oh my...where do I start? I have purposefully refrained from posting as I got fed up with the Democrats' charade of appearing to try to pass any sort of immigration relief; but this is just too much to resist.

What a f***ing joke.

1) Does anyone else find it moronic - no,let me rephrase that- immoral - that all of the "dreamers" who had a final order of deportation and went public with their plea after ICE enforced such order, will NOT qualify under this abomination of a bill? These were the profiles used by the 'advocates' (useless people who do not know what to do with themselves, much less how to use examples like these and the military provision to Dream Act's advantate) to earn sympathy and votes for the passage of DA. I see nothing about vacating the deportation orders of such people and it must be addressed.

2) The age cap. Everyone - EVERYONE - until the night of November 30, 2010 knew that beneficiaries up to age 35 could get relief under this provision. Dream Act is not to benefit exclusively 'students' - it is meant to benefit people who grew up here and can prove their worth and will work hard to give back to the country by pursuing higher education and skills, and serve the military. Way to lower that pool of potential and screw at least a third or more of beneficiaries. I can't get over the fact that this actually came from Sen. Durbin himself. Keep it going, and soon, maybe by next week, the cap will be 18. You know, real children, by definition. Maybe that will shut the ones who say 'it had to be done'. Right back at ya.

This is a complete sell -out. Agricultural workers who arrived young and finished High School could benefit from the original legislation. Those who have participated as much as possible into civic life in this country - working, paying taxes, not being on medicaid (welfare), etc - who are as productive as the law allows it, should be able to stay if they fall withing the 35-year old range. Waiting until the very last minute to de-qualify people who were the original beneficiaries of the legislation is morally wrong.

Call this what it is. A sell-out.

But at least, if we help legalize some of the people doesn't matter what age cap they put as long as it passes, later those people can hopefully remember and support something bigger or maybe another dream act for for the rest of the immigrants.

Will they make me take a drug test?
