[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) They have no prior criminal convictions

2) They are either pursuing education or has a job and not relying on public assistance

3) Chain immigration is ended for everyone except those bringing over minor dependents.

What about you?  Do you support giving permanent status and under what conditions?[/quote]

That is all already built in. Glad you're on board[/quote]

OP here...I believe 1 and 2 are but not 3.  [/quote]

“Chain migration” is such a bullshit, GOP made-up concept — yet another way scare white people afraid of the brownification of America.

This BS term is their spin on family sponsorship, which is ALREADY incredibly expensive, protracted and arduous. You can’t just tell the government you want your family here, and then they say GREAT! and it’s done. The process takes years (exact length depends on country of origin and family relation), requires all the usual background checks, etc — and then the petitioner has to be able to demonstrate financial ability to sponsor the family member in case s/he cannot work.

Immigrant families with loved ones back home often send money back home in order to protect and support these family members over the years.

So: either stop the efforts to say we’re a country of family values, and support keeping families together; OR admit we don’t give a shit about brown families and drop the outrage over immigrants sending money back home. But either way, don’t play this BS game where the GOP is worried about this phenomenon that already doesn’t exist. I don’t know of any multimillionaire DACA recipents able to petition for all of their cousins.[/quote]

OP here...this isn't true.  I know for a fact because I have family who sponsored their parents who are elderly.  They come here and obtain their green cards and are able to apply for public assistance.  They are on medicaid, and live in assisted living, go to government sponsored adult daycares all at the taxpayers expense.  This is also happening all over my Potomac neighborhood.  The adult children sponsor their parents who had already transferred all their own savings to the adult kids so on paper they are poor.  They can then apply for medicaid (sometimes with a wait) and go to adult daycare centers, get taxi allowances, etc.  All those buses you see with Asian characters that say adult daycare are running around getting these folks.  BTW, just because on paper it says the adult children are promising financial support for their parents when they applied, it is never enforced.  This is the same for siblings only for siblings, it is a longer wait.  My parents sponsored a sibling over and it was a 10 year wait.  However, once the siblings are here, they can apply for green card and a few years later apply for public assistance (as long as they are elderly).  I am totally against this and believe our taxes should be helping those that truly need help, not those hiding their own savings so they can benefit from taxpayers money.[/quote]
