Immigration Reform

[maverick41]

The president is also poised to expand how the federal government issues specialty visas for high-tech workers. Immigration activists earlier this year suggested that rather than counting each individual family member against a legislative mandated cap for the program, the government could instead count the head of the family- and not siblings, spouses or children (Source: The Hill)

 

Lets see what happens

Could someone elaborate how it will help the legals waiting for more than 5yrs?

Updated MurthyDotCom article providing an overview of key portions of the president's proposal:

 

President’s Executive Actions for U.S. Businesses and Highly Skilled Workers

As predicted, Obama's Executive Action to grant amnesty to 5 million illegals will result in further delay for legal immigrants who have been waiting for 10 years !!!!

 

As I said before, this government will do nothing for legals, it will only harm them.

 

It's a sad day for EB2 and EB3. Keep it up Dems !!

Great News, newly arriving H4 spouses will get preference over people waiting in line for 8yrs on H1B or EAD .

 

Unfortunately H4 spouses have to wait till 5 million illegal immigrants are given green cards.

 

Thanks Obama for keeping your promise. Keep voting for Democrats !!!
