Create substantial immigration reform for family reunification

Created by M.S. on November 21, 2011

Under current immigration regulations, a personal petitioner may only petition those in those category regardless of age (i.e. a child petitioning parents may only petition those parents, and not other siblings who may be under the age of eighteen or eight). Comprehensive immigration reform is necessary in order to have the effects of the petition (permanent residency/citizenship) transcended to the offspring or those under legal guardianship who are under the age of eighteen. This allows for families to be together and not be constantly thinking of their six year old child under someone else's care and increases the workforce of the United States.
