Quote:We have a tenant from Columbia who has been here 6 years on a work visa with his family (Wife + 2 kids).  He applied for citizenship via his sponsor and it has been delayed for over 2 years.  He informed me a few months ago that things were once again progressing toward obtaining citizenship.  Here's the kicker ..... for 6 years, his wife was not eligible to seek a job due to their classification and now his oldest son, who came here at age 15 is now 21 and considered on his own (even though he is finishing up college) and will not be eligible to obtain citizenship with his family.  He must apply as a single adult and be sponsored. This could result in him being an illegal immigrant in the near future.

 

I know this is a very unique situation but there's something wrong with our system when families are broken up because of red tape in our process.

 

My question is:  Does Trump and HRC allow for this family to become citizens together or even allow for the eldest son to remain in the US due to the citizenship delays that was beyond their control.

 

Situations like this are exactly what 8 senators addressed a long time ago.  It was shot down because of partisan politics primarily by those on the far right basically calling it "amnesty".  It's a good example of why career politicians need to be voted out of office on both sides of the aisle.

 

I would say that it's never going to happen, but if an "outsider" happens to be elected President, there might possibly be at least a little bit of shakeup in Washington DC.
