Its about unfair current immigration practices across the country. My daughter is married to a man from Mexico. They have two sons, my grandsons, who can not see their father because he must wait ten years before he can apply for entrance into this country. His sons need him, their financial situation needs him. In case your asking, does he have a criminal record, no he does not. He is just abiding his time. She had lived in Mexico with him but the state of affairs there made it impossible for her to remain there.

I would like florida to propose a resolution creating a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants in florida and our country

Rights of Citizenships

Debate is raging over next steps for immigration reform. One thing we know for sure is that something must be done. Working families are answering the call and taking the lead to make sure a roadmap to citizenship for 11 million aspiring citizens is included in any agreement. Immigrants aspiring to be citizens are Americans in all but paperwork. It’s time we modernized our immigration laws to catch up to that reality. It’s time to win citizenship for all, and it starts with your name right now.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte from Virginia's 6th District is Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. This means he will be a big part of passing any immigration reform this year. This means Rep. Goodlatte will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Rep. Goodlatte to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

we want to be part of the solution no part of the problem. Some of us are here for more than 20 years with kids born here and this kids are suffering for the fact that their parents can't found a sterile job. is time to make us pay tax and contribute with social security that is need it badly to keep up with the retiree.....

Trey Gowdy from South Carolina is the Immigration Subcommittee Chair in the House. This means Rep. Gowdy will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Rep. Gowdy to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

ABC News recently reported that Congressman John Carter from Round Rock, Texas is working with a bipartisan group in Congress on an immigration reform proposal. This means Rep. Carter will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Rep. Carter to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

The procedures for the Immigrants to get their Legal Status must be less than one year. And not with Huge fees to pay. Must be less than a year, with also no huge fees to pay. We want fairness totally, all the way. Make us feel we are wanted here in U.S.A.

It's about to allow everybody in U.S.A before January 2013 to be able to get their legal Status with kind of red tape or vendetta, huge fees, and very long procedures and waiting period....As It should be less than one year procedure.

Awarding citizenship to everyone who has been cleared by INS/ICE. Immigration candidates who obeyed our laws and followed rules should be rewarded quickly and well.

Those wishing to lawfully enter this country and sponsored by a relative should be given priority. My friend is due to graduate in a year college in Brazil. Her sister has lived here for five years and graduated UCF with a BA in Business Administration. The country needs translators, and my friend speaks five languages and translates for business English to Portuguese. We should make immigration and work visas easily obtainable for people of skill and education who are sponsored by relatives.
