Perhaps you could be a little clearer for me?
Perhaps I can be a little clearer by pointing out the incorrect terminology used throughout this thread. An illegal immigrant is one who has entered the USA without immigration clearance at a port of entry (otherwise known as
Entered
Without
Inspection). Others who have cleared a port of entry then overstayed the terms of their visa or in the case of some the VWP are not illegal immigrants. They are overstayers. They may or may not become illegal immigrants wholly dependant upon their actions and intent.
The problem with an election coming is that politicians of all sides are playing the immigration card based on the general ignorance of the US population on immigration law. In a more enlightened society that would be called racism. Just sayin
There is a very limited category of people who are entitled to adjust status and the rules are clear.
