Unless immigration laws are reformed in the future otherwise, that's just the way it should be; fair application procedures for everyone. I have to disagree with any Amnesty effort route and definitely with giving anyone lesser responsibilities to the immigration standards. My own family does not get that special treatment and neither should anyone else.

US Immigration Forms

Does the completion of your temporary status include the following requirements.

During the six years of conditional status, the eligible immigrant would be required to either (1) graduate from a two-year community college, (2) complete at least two years towards a 4-year degree, or (3) serve two years in the U.S. military. After the six year period, an immigrant who meets at least one of these three conditions would be eligible to apply for legal permanent resident (green card) status.

Or did your immigration begin with a green card status?

Does his immigrant status include eligiblity for discounted, in-state tuition rates ? No ;many legal foreign students pay a premium at American universities for the privilege. ;members of the US Armed forces are not automatically eligilbe . Many of them have to establish residency in the State in question .That is often very difficult given the moblile nature of military service.

UPDATE

Harry Reid has not announced when a vote will occur on the DREAM Act amnesty amendment (now SA 2919),but no more votes will occur this week. Any potential vote on SA 2919 will not occur until next week.

It will take 41 NO votes to kill this amnesty. Currently, only 21 Senators are telling their constituents that they will vote NO on the amnesty.

My family came over on a legal status with relative and working visas. However if my family had to re-qualify for any of such I'd have to continue paying for that out of my own pocket, not at tax payers expence. But then again we already have college education and military service. :)

UPDATE

Harry Reid has decided to TEMPORARILY shelve the Dream Act until he can find another piece of legislation that it can be piggy-backed onto.

Quote:

But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. pledged that senators would vote on the measure, which is strongly opposed by anti-illegal immigration groups, before the Senate finishes its work for the year in mid-November. "All who care about this matter should know that we will move to proceed to this matter before we leave here," he said.
