"Necessary paperwork" = voter registration form?
"Necessary paperwork" = voter registration form?
It would appear that the "Necessary paperwork" is Form I-130 which carries with it a $355 filing fee (that USCIS)
For citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States to establish the relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States.
Note: A separate form must be filed for each eligible relative. USCIS processes Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, as a visa number becomes available. Filing and approval of an I-130 is only the first step in helping a relative immigrate to the United States. Eligible family members must wait until there is a visa number available before they can apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident.
I note that these petitions require a Visa number to be available -does one assume then that the number of petitions is limited by some annual immigrant 'quotas' or something or is this some undocumented unlimited immigration policy?
I note as well that it would appear since this program requires entry Visas it implies objectively that it is not applicable to those aliens already here illegally?
I note further the fee waiver option...
I further note that the stated impetus for releasing detainees is an overburdened process and that the goal of expediting this process seems to miss the whole point of the matter -the process that is limited by number of Visas is being overburdened by illegal aliens. This kinder gentler approach does NOTHING to address the problem -in fact it worsens it!
It would be interesting to see the numbers both of pending petitions and numbers of fee waivers...
Bingo!!!
You win a cookie!!! ;-)
Expect a push for more registrations to be filed before the 30 days prior to the election in those communities that harbor (sanctuary) illegal, law-breaking immigrants in this country...
Since ICE is ordered to not do their job, we might as well fire every single one of them, turn out the lights, and lock the doors...Why spend the money on a government agency when they are not doing their jobs...
Oh, wait...Silly me...Government agency not doing their jobs...That certainly was a brain fart if I have ever had one...
