“Like a student visa”
Honestly, you are one clueless individual. What has this to do with work permits? If it’s merely a student visa, then it should only apply to a student’s educational matters. It doesn’t, and you damn well know it.
So I’m going to have to amend my comment about you being clueless. You are an agent provocateur. You’re working for the other side, either by ignorance or as a willing accomplice.
Rubio’s bill would create a new class of visa for illegal aliens brought here as children. I said that it’s *like* a student visa (and it is, since it doesn’t create a path to citizenship), but it isn’t a student visa like the one that exists today. IIRC, the special visa would also allow the recipient to work in the U.S., but it is not a green card (so it would not create a path to citizenship) nor is it an H1B visa (so it wouldn’t depend on an employer requesting the visa for the recipient).
Is it really that difficult for you to understand that what Rubio is proposing is something new? You keep demonizing what Rubio has proposed and said without even taking the time to read and think about it.
And now you insult not just Senator Rubio, but me. No, I did not join FR in November 2002 (I signed up right after the general election (but before the Senate runoff in LA) after having lurked for awhile) so as to become an “agent provocateur” for liberals 10 years later. It’s funny how you reflexively insult me and accuse me of being a liberal, when I’ve consistently said that *I don’t even like Rubio’s bill*. However, I recognnize (having read polls and not sticking my head in the sand) that it’s smart politics for him to cut the Democrats off at the pass and propose something that takes the whole “those poor kids brought here through no fault of their own” meme away from the Democrats without creating a path to citizenship, which is why the Democrats (particularly Obama) will do anything to stop the bill from getting to the floor.
And if you can’t understand this, sorry, but I can’t do anything for you.
