It's really sad that the bill got blocked in the test vote. I hope it gets passed after two weeks. And it is not a question of fairness. Fairness कै कुरा गर्ने हो भने पनि most of us who are in USA in some kind of visas except DV or H-1 have worked "illegally" or got paid "under the table" one time of another. So, we cannot say that only illegal immigrants are lawbreakers and the rest of us are ultimate law abiders. The fact remains that if we want, we may eventually get green card if we stay on track. It is just a question of how many years it will take. Another fact that is that most of us on multiple visas can go to Nepal and come back whenever we want. But the illegal immigrants don't have such privileges, yet they have still contributed to American economy. And another fact is that guest worker program is not an amnesty. Many hurdles must be overcome before one gets a greencard. It's not easy. I will be glad for our Nepali brethren if they are able to get guest worker status and are on their way to green card. And from what I have heard from new green card holders, life is not easy even after green card. It's a whole new ball game, they say - lots of new responsibilities, new expectations and all that.
