DREAMERS - Deferred Action Process for Young People Who Are Low Enforcement Priority

[ksur23]

I absolutely agree, when a derivative gets ead it is like them getting a gc, also I believe L visa holders' spouses have the same flexibility. If the primary is given the same flexibility then there would be no frustration just like how gc to citizenship is usually not something people worry about. That a gc is given for future employment to fulfill shortage of labor/expertise is not a valid argument as a gc grant is not necessary for that. When the government is looking to confer permanent residency the intent is to provide flexibility. If the U.S. government only intends to have workers in low-supply areas then just worker visas would suffice. I think the idea behind gc is to encourage aliens to achieve their potential productivity in whatever fields chosen. This may not be in the written words but I am sure that's the intent.

The most practical lobbying the EB community can make is to remove the restrictions on ead and allow ead holders to work for any employer without this restriction on job title and function. That itself is like a practical green card.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
GC Card is future employment, for which we are following all the steps (PERM, I-140, Etc) assuming that you would work for the employer after getting GC. How can you say that even before you get your GC you have to remove restrictions ... ( FYI - you can process ur GC without working for that employer assuming that you would work for that employer in future )..

In that event AC 21 also should not exist, it anyway lets you change employers albeit with some restrictions.

Oh oh oh my....what is this?? Real politics!

Look who is asking this?

I am just curious how does this affect you personally?

[getsaby]

Personally, it doesn’t affect me at all, just like a fire nearby my house doesn’t affect me personally, someone getting robbed in front of me doesn’t affect me personally…

My point is no one should get an easy pass, it took 2+ years for H4EAD to see the light that’s what affects me personally…everyone should get in whatever line (employment + family), congress should make them eligible for FB category and let them also enjoy the ride…

H4 EAD seeing the light? Not sure if I understand.

I think there are two kinds of justices. One is legal justice that goes by the book. And the other is moral justice based on an innate sense of human values that reside in our minds. Either existence or even lack of certain laws can be immoral and unjust.

If we simple went by book, slavery would never be abolished or women would never have the votes or the disabled can be fired at will and so on and so forth. Not only that, if the women complained that slavery being abolished before women get to vote is not fair, then too progress would have been slower.

Applying the same logic to immigration, while it would be golden to have DACA and EB backlog resolved simultaneously in immigrants favor; only one getting resolved does improve the status quo and justice. Thus one should applaud either and both.

It is natural to focus on our own needs. But to say others should not receive justice before me is - I don't know what to say.
