I'm really worried. I know this proposed RAISE Act may never pass in the senate, and so never become law, but regarding the E2 visa, I didn't think this proposed RAISE Act would effect E2 visa because this visa doesn't lead directly to a green card, but David Bier of the Cato Institute said (https://twitter.com/david_j_bier/status/893175229266223104) in a tweet response on twitter which in part says, "It would eliminate E2 completely. If you are waiting for E2, you are pushed out of line". 

 

Is this true? 

 

We haven the applied for E2 yet but may want to do in next 5 years, but would this visa really be eliminated under the RAISE Act? Where can I find more information about this? Thanks

A point system is a good system but when it's a fair system.

when i think of RAISE act the first thing comes to my mind, what if a US citizen had a single mom who happens to live abroad alone and she ain't U.S citizen or LPR and she was alone in her home country. this bill wouldn't allow this mother to live with her kid permanently.

I read the bill, it says nothing about E2 visas. no one knows until the senate discusses this bill, but i think this won't pass.

You can tell, Republicans control the Senate, House, Supreme Court and the White House and they couldn't repeal ACA or get a good replacement for it.

They don't want it to be realistically obtainable because the bill is xenophobic and anti immigrant. That's their whole point. 

I may agree with you that it's "anti-immigrant" only because this bill in it's current form would cut the number of legal immigrants in half. I agree that the numbers should be expanded. The points system although in need of revision, is necessary.

 

And in no way is it xenophobic. People can't succeed here without understanding the English language. It's actually pretty stereotypical to assume that only Caucasians know how to speak English.

The second amendment is also from decades ago.
Next thing you will say the constitution is from decades ago.
There is such a thing as core value that policy has been based on and will continue to be based on as this bill will fail.

Learn the difference between refugees and immigrants, you seem a little confused.
The point system makes no sense based on the core value of this country. It is discriminating and catering to the elite and rich.
The world has changed for some....they embrace bigotry and xenophobic ideas. Most still stand on core values
this country was founded on and that is it's heartbeat.
Proving with an affidavit of support that our loved ones won't burden the government has nothing to do with needing a point system.
Comparing refugees fleeing from war torn countries with immigrants on an equal level to support themselves is just ridiculous.

 

The 2nd Admendment is a right.  Immigration is not. 

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

Forget living permanently....the parent wouldn't even be allowed to BE sponsored unless in need of care-taking.

 

The new rules about parents not being able to work is stupid too...people tend to think "elderly" when it comes to parents...but you can have instances where a 21 year old child has a 42 year old parent.  Why not be allowed to work, and pay taxes (contributing to the economy since money is so important in the eyes of this new bill) if you are young enough to land a job?

Maybe they are aiming to prevent birth tourism to become a gateway to US employment.

Right?  Like have these people never heard of the large African countries that speak English or you know, India?  Most intelligent people are able to get to a fairly high level of English by adulthood, even if it is a second language. My husband for example had 10 total years of schooling and was fluent in English when we met. No excuses.

Should an age limit be applied to parents then? Both my in-laws received their IR-5 visas and subsequent green cards. As with my in-laws, it's much more unlikely that they will assimilate, speak English and be employable. It's much more likely that they will encounter high healthcare costs.

 

From a personal perspective, it seems a little crazy that my parents-in-law can easily immigrate here without being employable or understanding English, whereas my sister-in-law speaks great English, is college educated and would assimilate well here. Yet she can't easily immigrate. She needs to have my mother-in-law petition her as an F2B and then wait 7 years. In the mean time, she can't get married or it will invalidate the petition. It would seem that a combination of family-based and some kind of points system would make better sense than the crazy system we have now.

We are the poster children for chain migration!

I see many successful people that have their own businesses and who can't speak English. Having said that, on a personal level I wish they
would be motivated to learn just as I would and did moving to a different country for ease of communication.
I never said I have a problem with a requirement being to speak English, perhaps not at entry but at a later time and as it stands now
it is already a requirement for naturalization and I agree with that. I have no idea why you countered with that comment.


Yes, this bill it is xenophobic. To understand that you would have to understand where the administration is headed and with whom.
Check out the newly appointed  USCIS Ombudsman Julie Kirchner who for decades was executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which has been classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 
As anti immigrant as it gets but supposedly assisting immigrants as Ombudsman ! Just another fox guarding the hen house.

and am baffled why you added that to your comment to me.
Evidently you did not read my comments carefully before adding your assumptions that are untrue in regards to my statements.

LOL, OK, I thought you determined the bill to be xenophobic based upon the language of the bill itself. But it turns out you think it's xenophobic because of a factor completely unrelated to the bill. It was my mistake to assume you made a logical connection between the bill itself and your determination of xenophobia.

This serves an anti immigrant agenda and yes, an even more sinister movement.

I'm sorry, but you are way off base here on several levels.  I find it immensely hard to believe that Trump, a man with a converted Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren would be pushing a white nationalist agenda.  If you knew anything at all about white nationalists, you would exactly how they feel about Jews.    He's even improved relations with Israel for goodness sake!  

 

The SPLC is a ridiculous source for any sort of information.  That you've even cite them undermines any credibility to your argument.

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

That must be why Trump was sued by the government for not wanting to rent to people of color and now has surrounded himself with alt right individuals, Bannon just loves it all !
Sending a son in law as a peace maker who knows nothing to the Middle East is absolutely non productive.
That is the state department's job and Tillerson was miffed about it too.

If you don't like my source feel free to do the research with other sources. You don't have to accept my source.
For goodness sakes back at ya.

LOL, OK, I thought you determined the bill to be xenophobic based upon the language of the bill itself. But it turns out you think it's xenophobic because of a factor completely unrelated to the bill. It was my mistake to assume you made a logical connection between the bill itself and your determination of xenophobia.

The bill is driven by agenda so of course it is one and the same.
It was not a mistake to assume I made a logical connection between the bill and my determination of xenophobia, you made a mistake in thinking
the two factors can not co exist with xenophobia. The agenda is xenophobic AND the language of the bill is xenophobic.
You still seem confused. Let it go.

I will let it go, because you have made it clear the pointlessness of trying to have a logical discussion with you. There is no point in continuing.
