"Angeles P. Barberena has always tried to follow the United States’ immigration laws. She dutifully filed her petition to become a resident, complied with the requirements and paid her taxes and fees.
That was 17 years ago. Ms. Barberena, who is from Mexico, is still waiting. Her file is inching through a backlog, and she has several years to go before she will receive the green card that will make her a permanent resident."
Simply unacceptable. If you want to come here, play by the rules, and work hard...we should welcome you, we should celebrate you, we should make your immigration here as easy as possible. But we don't.
The U.S. Senate recently passed legislation that would solve this problem for Ms. Barberena and 4.4 million others like her...legislation that is now languishing in the U.S. House. Naturally, Oklahoma's two Senators opposed the bill.
