[Moderator's hat on]

A post has been removed for being unnecessarily insulting. Remember that this is not the Current Events forum. Discuss the issue and not each other.

[Moderator's hat off]

This date (20 November) is the anniversary of Mexican Revolution Day (happened in 1910 or 1911 -- must confirm). People are surmising that this is why the announcement is coming today, rather than on Friday (when it would be harder for people to object to their elected officials).

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

When is Canada day?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

The emperor with no clothes says:

1. It’s not amnesty

The talking points say, “Taxes and background checks aren’t amnesty. That’s accountability. Doing nothing—that’s amnesty.”
2. The president’s legal authority and Congress’ role
“Every President for more than half a century, both Democrats and Republicans, has taken executive action on immigration,” the talking points say. “The President’s actions are temporary. House Republicans need to do their job and pass the bipartisan Senate bill to provide a permanent fix.”
The document continues, “These are common sense steps, but only Congress can finish the job. As the president acts, he’ll continue to work with Congress on a comprehensive, bipartisan bill—like the one passed by the Senate more than a year ago—that can replace these actions and fix the whole system.”
3. Who to deport
The talking points reiterate, “prioritize deporting felons not families,” and add, “We need to focus on deporting felons, not families; criminals, not children.”
4. What to say to Republican threats on funding
Some Republicans in Congress have talked about not funding Obama’s executive action. The White House’s view on this seems geared to making Democrats look tougher on enforcement than the GOP.
“Republicans are blocking funding to conduct millions of background checks,” the documents says. “Another Republican shutdown, but this time over collecting taxes from undocumented immigrants.”
It's now clear the emperor with no clothes has an excellent career ahead in stand up comedy!

To be sure the emperor pulled a coup and left the issue on the hands of princes boener and mcconnell...

I am sure the next congress will have this figured out in no time...

How sad.

The King panders for votes and struggles to remain relevant with this executive order while he leaves the legal immigration process horribly broken. If he was really sincere about fixing the problems he would have done so in 2008 and 2009 when he controlled both houses of congress. I feel sorry for all those folks that are going to enter the LEGAL process in the near future. DACA was nothing compared to this pending tidal wave of paperwork. This President is a moron.

All this hot air from both sides and neither side has said a word about tough sanctions against employers or universal E-verify

Both sides are lying to us

Day Obama leaves?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
