[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GOP is singing its death knell with this. They really should have taken Graham-Durbin.[/quote]

I think most GOP would be fine with this.  I know I would.  What most GOP wants is to stop the flow once and for all. [b] The end to chain migration would also be a big plus.[/b]  I think it also gets rid of the diversity lottery.

The problem in the past is that the Congress has voted for border security--but never appropriated the funds to finish the job.  Sec Nielson said that she needs more personnel and this does that.  She also needs to be able to send people back.  If you come in and say the right words (taught by the coyotes) you get to stay.

I think the plan has promise.  It is pretty much what I would like.[/quote]

What you're referring to, is people sponsoring their family members for immigration. For example, I know somebody who came to the US as a child refugee from Vietnam. When she grew up, as a naturalized US citizen, she started on the long and expensive process of sponsoring her parents, her three siblings, and the siblings' spouses and children.

Do you think that's bad? Do you think that she should not have been allowed to do this? And if so, why?

There is no such thing as "chain migration" -- chains don't migrate. We're talking about people. The immigration of people.[/quote]
I really don't understand why it's such a bad thing to try to keep families together. I thought the Rs were the party o family values.

I know a Vietnamese refugee too who petitioned for her siblings to come.  They are all taxpaying citizens now.  When she first came here she stayed with foster parents somewhere down south.  They are still close.[/quote]
