This individual entered the country without permission and was allowed to remain for years even after being ordered to leave. Yet rather than being grateful for the time he was given, he is complaining because it is not being made permanent. In these cases, my sympathy is on an equal level with their gratitude.
Lawyers in many places say they’re struggling with how to advise their clients on whether they should attend scheduled appointments with immigration agents or even show up to court.
...
Struggling? He was ordered to leave the country by a judge. That means leave.
It's time--the clock has run out.
Spot on about college and trade schools, nor can all college folks handle blue collar labor.
The law was not followed by those appointed to carry out enforcement. That’s a problem that doesn’t reflect poorly upon the law, but upon those tasked with it’s enforcement, the interval in which any illegals were given a pass.
There is no statute of limitation upon law pertaining to foreign nationals.
Failure to report and paperwork.

Appears to be his failure to get his butt back
south of the Rio Grand from what I read.
If you’ve been in the
construction business
for forty years, then you
can probably remember
a time when almost all
construction workers were
White, Black, or Asian.
(I used to hang Sheetrock
in California in the late
60’s/early 70’s). There
was a housing boom in
areas like Petaluma.
You didn’t need a background
check or drug test back then.
Most young guys “coming up”
we’re broke in by the guys
who had been in their
respective trades long
enough to become
journeymen. It is the cheap
labor express that has
gradually taken over, with
most contractors trying to
keep their labor costs
down and their profits high
enough to make a decent
living and pay their bills.
This illegal did steal
someone else’s job. Plus,
he probably had ample time
to apply to become a
assimilated US citizen.
I think things will level
out, and you’ll start
seeing eligible workers
applying for those jobs
once all the illegals have
been rounded up and
deported.
I find it VERY hard to believe that with 95+ million underemployed or unemployed that construction can’t find US citizens to do the work and at that price. And with clean backgrounds.
