Immigration Deal.

[Osha 126]

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and The AFL-CIO have reached a deal on a new low-skilled worker program. If you guys remember the 2007 Comprehensive Immigration Reform fight, one of the main problem why that bill failed was because of disagreement between big business and organize labor over the temporary worker program. So this is a BIG deal, this pretty much bring us closer to a comprehensive immigration reform by the summer time. Of course we still have a tough fight ahead of us , but nonetheless this was a tough hurdle to overcome and they finally did.

The dream act will be included in the overall comprehensive immigration reform bill, which of course will benefit those on Deferred Action.

so what this bill is pretty much is a work visa to get better jobs for everyone. And what does the Following Mean "The workers could move from employer to employer and would be able to petition for permanent residency after a year, and ultimately seek U.S. citizenship. Neither is possible for temporary workers now." So what their saying is that it is not possible anymore to apply for Permanent residency or even become U.S Citizenship if you go into This ????

The so called "low-skilled workers program" applies to future migrants who want to come to the U.S. to do some temporary or low skilled work. This new agreement between the Organize Labor and Big Business is a much better improvement over the existing law. It just means that those folks who will come under the temporary or low-skilled program can apply for a green card and then citizenship, which will be a dream for future immigrants. This program doesn't apply to us, it applies to future migrants. Comprehensive Immigration reform is a very broad legislation that will pretty much change the whole immigration system, from border security, to the Dream Act, to giving visas to the 11 Million undocumented immigrants, to fixing the legal immigration backlogs...etc.

is there going to be any kind of immigration reform for the people that have already been in the U.S for years to get the chance to become Resident or even Citizens ? They need to Focus on the people that been Here in the U.S first

Yes, there will be. That's one of the major principles in this new legislation. People who are here illegally will get a provisional visa right away but the road to permanent residence as well as to citizenship will be long, although Dreamers will get an expedited road to citizenship as oppose to everyone else.

You don't need to start a petition, we can help you out if you want. I don't think that petition is going to help you much anyway...just saying.

[pswa83 302]

i beg to differ with what the petition states. i've never had a SSN before DACA, not even an ITIN, and was able to get cable service. the purpose of providing a SSN is for the cable company to check if 1.) you have any outstanding debts with them and 2.) to determine your deposit fee.

i didnt provide a SSN when i got my cable service back in 2007. i did have to pay a full deposit though. i used my 2007 monthly cable statements as proof of residency for 2007.

also, if one does have an ITIN, they can get utility services and even leases. it all depends on where you live. i live in palm springs, ca and about 20 / 30 mins east of me, there are apartment building that will lease to someone who doesnt have a SSN or even an ITIN. as along as they can pay the rent, they'll get an apartment. all i need when i rented my apartment back in 2007, was a co-signer in case anything happened.

What do you mean by 'Requirements?'

Requirements for Deferred Action?

If that is what you mean, click here, which will direct you to USCIS website. Also, I strongly encourage you to explore the Forum in more detail, since there is a cache of very valuable information found in (almost) every discussion. Additionally, do not hesitate to ask questions anywhere...many of the Dreamers that visit the site will be more than glad to answer your questions up to their knowledge (in case you did not notice before).

Hope this helped.

If I drifted on a tangent, disregard this post.

not for deferred action. I am talking about this immigration reform that is being talked about.

There is not even a bill yet to send to congress...they are working on it (hopefully)...

Us Dreamers will have to wait and see how should we proceed to apply for residency/citizenship after all is taken care of (Hopefully, it all is...although, after watching House of Cards on Netflix...)

The immigration Reform bill is not a law yet, Once its been proposed, it will then head to one of the Senate Committee for hearings and once they've concluded the hearings, the committee will hold a vote on it before it goes to the Senate Floor for debate. So this bill will go through a lot of congressional processes and by the time it reaches the president desk if everything goes well, it will definitely be a different bill from its original version which will be introduced next week. So its hard to say for sure what this bill will require us to do. The House of Representative will be introducing its own immigration bill sometimes after the congressional recess, and it will go through the same tough scrutiny as the Senate version, and hopefully between August and November there should be a an immigration bill on the president desk.

They need to stop giving stuff to people outside of the US and concentrate on those already in the country. FFS!
