If not for Boehner's obstruction of a bill popular with the majority of Americans we would not be in a position where trump's demagoguery and abject cruelty on the matter has divided the nation. Division being exactly what he wants.
1. Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) Status:
- Undocumented immigrants who met specific criteria, including being physically present in the US before December 31, 2011, paying back taxes, passing background checks, and paying fees, could apply for RPI status.
- This status would allow them to live and work in the US legally.
- RPI status would be renewable, with a potential pathway to legal permanent resident (LPR) status after 10 years.
- After 10 years in RPI status, individuals could apply to adjust to LPR status (green card).
- A further three years in LPR status would be required before they could apply for citizenship.
- After fulfilling the requirements for LPR status, individuals could apply for naturalization, including passing an English and civics test and meeting other requirements.
- This entire process, from RPI to citizenship, could take at least 13 years.
