8 years just for residency! This is nothing! The millions of undocumented people who are in the US now and those yet to come cannot wait 8 years just for legal permanent residence! And all of these near-impossible “prerequisites” are unacceptable! We can win so much more now by acting as in 2006 when the New Immigrant Rights Movement was born and when we destroyed HR4437! The Movement must take up...

Obama has set deportation records, immigration tops federal law enforcement spending, and to top it off, U.S.-Mexico migration is at net zero. And the attacks keep coming.
