 vote for band aid. that petetion is just a band aid!

 You call it band aid. I call it small step in the positive direction. With president Obama taking on comprehensive immigration reform next week and with latin groups being a significant portion of the electoral votes for the democrats, chances are legal immigration reform might be dragged behind by the illegal immigration debate. Latin advocacy groups like La Raza are advocating strongly for thier cause. I do not know if there are any advocacy groups for legal immigration except for a bunch of hi-tech companies appealing to their senators. So why not participate in any chance to make your voice heard. Lets be optimistic.

 those are all just talk the talk. it's politics. TBH for legal immigrants like us , republicans are better. But as for now,   illegals have advantage with democrats. For instance recent chance to pass stem job...honeslty it all boils down to BS....nth will happen...

 They say even a mother does not breast feed her baby without crying. Yes it is all about special interest groups and lobyying but in democracy a voice is a voice. It might help the public opinion at the least and if Republicans are for greencard through STEM then democrats might be compelled to work out a bargain as well.

 By the way nonimmigrant visa also includes F1 visa F2 visa H1B visa K1  Fiance of United States citizen H1C Nurse in health professional shortage and a whole bunch of other visas like J1. I wish the creator would have opened a petition for just F1, F2 and H1B visas.May be that is the reason threshold is so high at 100,00 votes. www.immihelp.com/usa-visa/

 Could somebody explain to me that threshold of signatures? Is it  just a goal? I was browsing responses to previous petitions and white house has repsonded to some that are as small as 6000 signatures.
