John Kerry and Immigration Reforms???

[joyd]

John Kerry hasn't even listed Immigration reforms as an issue. We need to make sure we get heard, please go to www.johnkerry.com and send him a mail. We are sufferring at the hands of DHS and he should be aware of it. Here's what I wrote in my email.

Dear Mr. Kerry:

What's your policy to reduce the immigration backlog? I am one among thousand of Indian computer professionals who are suffering from delays at the hands of DHS. We are loyal, educated , legal workers making serious contribution to the American economy living thousands of miles away from our home trying to make a better life and make a difference to the American economy. But still the Permanent residency delays are killing us. I have filed my adjustment of status application two years back and I still see no signs of any progress, I had to wait 2 years for my labor certification prior to that. On top of that we have to renew our Employment authorizations (EAD) cards every year and we have to file 6 months in advance to get the cards in time so we can continue to work. Immigration reforms are a must and must be addressed in your speeches. Immigrants like me are making serious contribution to the American economy. We need your help in us be able to live the American dream!!

Thanks for lending your ear.

Hi,

Good idea, but why he should mention about immigration of legal workers in his speeches? Certainly an awesome thing if he does for all of us that are in the process but do you think its logical for him? We can't vote and we can't contribute to his campaign, in short what benefits will he get? On the other hand if he discuss about illegal immigrants, than it will benefit him to get the hispanic votes. But nothing wrong in trying and i'll encourage everyone to do so aswell, it was just my opinion based on your comment.

Good Job

Even if he doesn't mention in his speech, he should have something on his website about this. At least Bush said about solving the backlog in 6 months, whether that happens or not is another story, but at least his intentions were clear. Kerry can do better than that, as he said "America can do better than that, help is on the way", what about us? Is he even aware of the problems we face?

Well all these ppl play with emotions during election years. For Bush, more at stake, firstly he tried to get Hispanic support thus opening up doors for those who are here illegaly and by doing so he gotta make sure he is not ignoring those who try to get legal process or else Democrates will Grill Bush. Now secondly Bush started the Department of Homeland Security, that did nothing in three years so far but he is gonna mention all the good things that can happen. Kerry's Slogan Help is on the way is all words so far, only god can help move the processing at this time...... So far its all word game but no results, its just too much frustration when we pay taxes and do everything for a good citizen and yet we are the ones who suffer to be legalized and be part of this Nation...

We will get there sometime somehow....

I watched a couple Democratic presidential candidate debate on TV. I remember someone mentioned that his wife is an immigrant and he is certainly on to reduce the GC backlogs. I think it's not Kerry. But Kerry did mention his support to immigrants.
