White House eases path to residency for some illegal immigrants
Los Angeles Times ^ | January 2, 2013 | Brian Bennett

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration eased the way Wednesday for illegal immigrants who are immediate relatives of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a change that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants unlawfully in the U.S.

A new rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security aims to reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said.

We are allowing politicians to manipulate the racial makeup of this country through illegal immigration, so they can retain power. Meanwhile we are called racist as we do nothing.

The invaders are all riding the US gravy train using multiple identites------with faked and forged documents the "impoverished" latinos "just here for a better life" bought for several thousand dollars each from itinerant document brokers.

Each identity gets freebies by the carload----and is sucking off the backs of working Americans. You can bet the suckers don't want to queer the profitable scam.

===============================================

As FREEPER REAGANSSHINYHAIR insightfully posted----Dreamer Ohaha may run ito some problems legalizing thie invaders(cackle).

WRT drivers' liceenses---they already used fake ID's to get licenses under different names....which also allows them to vote.

So, by Ohaha forcing them to get licenses under their real names, state computers will run a photo-match check to see if the same person has applied under different names.

Voila, they get investigated for ID theft and have to answer to a judge---and get prosecuted under US law. This frequently happens when a former illegal gets legal.

It is past time to start holding the illegals acountable. If we can’t get the government to deport them, lets find a way to bust them for some crime and send them to prison.

At least there, an accident might occur and there would be one less illegal.

I am pro-immigration, when entry into the country is legal. Our immigration policies should allow for all desirable immigration to occur without violating any laws. However, illegal immigration is unacceptable. Any illegal alien caught in our country should be permanently barred from any path to citizenship The children of illegals, even if born here, should not have any path to citizenship other than applying for legal entry and then following the same process as other non-citizens. (Read the Constitution: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Depending on the meaning of the "and subject to the jurisdiction" clause, denying citizenship to those born here illegally and thus not subject to our jurisdiction at birth might be both constitutional and appropriate.)

_____________________________________

OK who are these folks ???

“illegal immigrants” not immigrants at all but ILLEGAL ALIENS..here ILLEGALLY

illegal alien mothers and fathers and siblings of anchor babies

“American citizens”..anchor babies ..children of illegal aliens born on US soil just becuse the illegal alien mother happened to be here and not due to any loyalty or love of America..

Note: these are not citizens in accordance with the term “under the jurisdiction of”

so the anchor baby mommies and anchor baby daddies get to be rewarded for breaking the sovereign laws of the United States..

and American citizenship is handed out like candy from a Macy’s float..

Whereas I, a naturalized American citizen and USAF veteran, readily jumped through every required hoop to come here and to become an American citizen..

and in 42 years I have yet to feel I need to “hide in the shadows”

The destruction of this nation is being locked into place, step by step.

Today I was helping somebody whose family member, applying for a visa legally, was in Asia and needed to change the mailing address. I tried the online change of address form, but to use it You need to have your previous address inside the US. Very convenient for illegals, not so much for legal applicants who have to apply to a local US embassy.

When you call the USCIS help line, they don't even ask you whether you want Spanish. The person who answered instantly started speaking in Spanish. I could understand, but the person who is required to speak to them on the phone (the "petitioner") didn't speak Spanish. So I explained that, and then they started speaking English, kind of.

The person on the phone said she has to mail a letter the the appropriate office, unlike illegal applicants who claim they are inside the US, and therefore have a special option at the very start of the phone menu. Remember the promise of Dems and RINOs that illegals would "go to the back of the line?

What's going on? It's not only a leftist power grab. It's revenge against those who believe in the Constitution.

More importantly, and ever-increasing number of leftist voters.

Same argument the 14th is designed to stop. You can’t own slaves, and you can’t declare some Americans to be non-Americans.

Did Valerie Jarrett actually say that?

The Washington Post must have missed this... I'm sure the New York Times and Washington Post would cover something like that if it had been said by a Republican... and since they're not biased they would cover this is they knew... right?

right?

Yeah, "Reform" means things will get better, right? For leftists and big government, better.
