Give her a big hug and a welcome to America,I hope you two have a long and happy marriage.
Most do not understand what is involved in the process,miss one thing and it back to the beginning,lots of money and stress and hurry up and wait.
In this case he said that his lawyer screwed up which put him on the radar,even at that once applied for you are given a time frame to straighten things out,if you miss that time frame another deportation order is issued,more lawyers to fight it,he fought 3 deportation orders.
But he was married 15 years to a US citizen,if he would have paid the fine and self deported he could have been back in 90 days legally 14 years ago.
That is why this was a horrible case to showcase in the public,you cannot kick the can down the road with immigration and now sadly he is screwed,but that can be why they are showcaseing it,in order to draw public support to force the US attorney general to sign off.
It will not help the other 180,000 already gone or the hundreds of thousands stuck in the same situation.
Even more so when 1.2 million a year are successful doing it by the book.
They really need a bipartisan panel that will operate outside of the government per say and come up with a total immigration reform package.
That will never happen though because as soon as panel members are selected it will become a media crapstorm of bitching about who is on the panel,just like the manufacturing panel which dissolved and the American worker got screwed once again.
The only way that anything will change is by the people demanding it,not by forcing a gov shutdown but by saying it is our political agenda and not the politicians,who are supposed to be working for us.
We need to stop with all of the distractions and start concentrating on the things that effect our daily lives as Americans.
It does not matter if one does not like the currant president,but it is clear that he is not afraid to rock the boat or to piss people off,or even be political correct the wise thing to do is to use that to our advantage.
Immigration
Inner schools and opportunities
Infrastucture
Mass transit
You guys pulled together and brought a city back from the brink,the rest of the country can do the same thing,if we cannot put the pettiness aside and deal with what we need to do then we deserve what we get and there is really no need to get worked up over things like this post because it will not change anything.
Two things right now.
Immigration reform
Bring back the manufacturing council which in turn kicks in apprenticeship programs for those struggling in school and for those in college so when they get out they have expirence and a job in their field of studies and do not have to be worried about paying the student debt.
That stops a lot of bleeding and with very little effort other then showing the support on both sides because it effects both sides equally.
Any company that hires a student that is currently in college and hires in their field of study receives a tax credit equal to 50% of their salary while they are in the apprenticeship program,not to exceed 10% of their total workforce.
Any company that hires a student that is currently in school that is receiving passing grades and enrolled in a apprenticeship program receives a 40% tax credit equal to their salary,not to exceed 10% of their workforce.
Any student that is in school and is receiving failing grades or is dropping out but joins the apprenticeship program for the skilled trades industry receives a 55% of the salary as a tax credit,not to exceed 25% of the total work force or exceed a period of three years.
It can be consider corporate welfare or it can be considered as the taxpayer investing in the future with a payoff.
A company that wishes to take advantage of that would be more inclined to locate in cities that have a higher unemployment rate along with city's that have a highly unskilled supply of labor.
They cannot collect on the credits unless they employ,so it is credits received by showing results.
There is no need to sell the bus to get companies to locate and promise to provide jobs that in most cases never really seem to appear as originally stated.
Performance based incentives that show a return.
