Cristina’s daughter was born in the United States, recently turned 21 and is filing a petition to legalize the status of her parents. But Cristina is afraid that immigration authorities will knock on her door before her daughter can help.

“What if the migra grabs me before I have my papers?” asked Cristina, who works as a concierge in a luxury hotel. “I have to take care of myself.”
Another fine example of how our current illegal immigration laws (chain-migration) reward illegal aliens! The illegal has a child who is, by virtue of birth, an American citizen. Once that child becomes 21, she (or he) is then able to apply for a green card for the illegal alien parent. Of course after 5 years with the green card the mother can then become a U.S. citizen herself. How can any plan that actually rewards a person for their crime be called anything other than a shame plan! Congress needs to fix this.
