Immigration Reform Letters 2
Immigration - Immigration reform must value the families of United States citizens and legal permanent residents. Currently, even United States citizens face separation from their spouses for up to 10 years because of draconian penalties imposed for irregular status. Citizen children have no means to legal status for the parents who support and raise them. Backlogs for family-based visas separate even nuclear family members for years.
Changes removing these impediments should be made immediately and not be sidelined by debate about economic impact. Citizens and residents who petition for family members must already sign affidavits of financial support for their non-citizen relatives.
