No, that's not how I read it. Yes, there are "opportunities" for renewal, but they have to FIRST go home to get said opportunity. See above.

Your reading is incorrect.

The President isn't proposing a future requirement on legal "guest workers" that he won't impose on them when they're currently Illegals.

If the President won't make a Mexican Illegal go home to Tijuana to apply for a blue card, he's not going to make an Indian go home Calcutta for renewal.

No, the leverage is different. You don't make them go home to get the blue card because you always make it easy for someone to take the bait.

However, once someone takes the bait, you then have leverage upon them. After they have registered to get their blue card, they have lost their key advantage of being off of our radar. Suddenly, they have to play by our rules...something that they don't have to do prior to taking the bait.
