QUESTION
Will dreamers who become US citizens by their husband/wife won’t be able to fix their parent’s papers?
Asked on Mar 01st, 2017 on Immigration - Georgia
More details to this question:
Is it true that the president will ban the right to fix papers for someone else (parents) if the person who is trying to fix the parents (dreamer) got papers from their husband or wife? Not sure if it’s a hoax or not. If my wife is a dreamer, and she becomes a US citizen through me but she wants to fix her parents’ papers, is that on debate on being banned right now or is it just a hoax?

U.S. immigration law permits a naturalized citizen age 21 or older to sponsor her parents for immigration benefits regardless of the legal steps by which the naturalized citizen attained her own immigration benefits. The current Republican administration cannot change that law - it only can be changed by legislative act of Congress. There is a strong need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform that would modernize and improve our nation's immigration laws and practices; there is no shortage of suggestions being discussed for fixing the U.S. immigration legal system; and some immigration restrictions favor reduction of ways for re-uniting families. Nonetheless, my crystal ball indicates that the type of restriction you mentioned is unlikely to become the law in this country.
