WASHINGTON — The Obama administration eased the way Wednesday for illegal immigrants who are immediate relatives of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a change that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants unlawfully in the U.S.
A new rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security aims to reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said.
Beginning March 4, when the changes go into effect, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate that time apart from an American spouse, child or parent would create “extreme hardship,” can start the application process for a legal visa without leaving the U.S.
Once approved, applicants would be required to leave the U.S. briefly in order to return to their native country and pick up their visa.

The change is the latest move by the administration to use its executive powers to revise immigration procedures without Congress passing a law. In August, the Obama administration launched a program to halt the deportation of young people brought to the U.S. unlawfully as children.
The new procedures could reduce a family's time apart to one week in some cases, officials said. In recent years a few relatives of U.S. citizens have been killed in foreign countries while waiting for their applications to be resolved.
“The law is designed to avoid extreme hardship to U.S. citizens, which is precisely what this rule achieves,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, in a statement. “The change will have a significant impact on American families by greatly reducing the time family members are separated from those they rely upon,” he said.
Until now, many immigrants who might seek legal status do not pursue it out of fear they will not receive a "hardship waiver" of strict U.S. immigration laws: An illegal immigrant who has overstayed a visa for more than six months is barred from reentering the U.S. for three years; those who overstay more than a year are barred for 10 years.
The new rule allows those relatives to apply for the waiver without first leaving the U.S.

AWAKEN! You Function Under a Corporation, Not a Country
Time to awaken to the truth, Americans. We have been operating under the War Powers Act after this country declared bankruptcy in 1933...and are "assets" of the IMF, U.N., the World Bank, and International Bankers.
We have not been "free Americans," for all the propaganda and flawed history indoctrinating us.
Awaken. Begin to function in reality and adjust your expectations. This doesn't have to be a paradigm shift in our consciousness that renders us unhappy, nor does it force us to give up dreams for ourselves. It simply means that we break through the lies that have been forced upon us and begin to make psychological adjustments to the fact that politicians are liars, the country is simply a place where there are no borders, no predictable markets, and upon which few solid expectations should be made.
A great post explaining this on Dr. Kate's site, the link found below the post...

There are a few radical changes that most people are unaware of or know little about that has crushed the Republic from within. To solve anything we must first understand where the problems lay or should I say lie:
1. Act of 1871: usurped our Constitution: Congress most despicable illegally act which cost us our Constitution making the USA government De Facto. The Act of 1871 established the District of Columbia, we have been living under the UNITED STATES CORPORATION which is owned by certain international bankers and aristocracy of Europe and Britain. http://theunjustmedia.com/Banking%20&%20Federal%20Reserve/The%20united%20states%20Of%20America%20%20is%20a%20corporation%20owned%20by%20fore.htm
2. The Fourteenth Amendment: July 9, 1868. Reconstruction Amendments was never legally ratified and fundamentally changed America without due process of law. http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html
3. ACT OF 1913: We lost control of our money to a private federal banking cartel. http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/essays/general/a-brief-history-of-central-banking/federal-reserve-act-%281913%29.php
4. FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY ACT 1933: The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. All of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their “subjects,” the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System. all of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their “subjects,” the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System.
5. THE USA PATRIOT ACT 2001: Freedom of privacy gone.
6. DEMOCRACY VS. REPUBLIC. A sinister rumor spreads through the United States proclaiming Democracy (socialism) equal to or better than the Republic (equality under the law). http://www.c4cg.org/republic.htm.
So…: 1. We have lost our Constitution and therefor its laws of protection for the citizens of the USA. (That explains a lot doesn’t it?) 2. We lost control of our money to the Federal Reserve. 3. We declared bankruptcy and lost the country and ourselves (we are now chattel corporations) along with all our property to the Feds that is “deeded” to us but we do not own anything out right. 4. We lost what little freedoms we had left to the Patriot Act. 5. A majority now believe that a form of socialist communistic style democracy will save us from our horribly outdated Republic. All these things we have lost but this is still not the worst lose for America: That which truly made us the Greatest Nation On Earth: UNITY.
People are scrambling to find law to use against the government to take back control and can’t understand why they are not working? Why the DOJ thumbs its nose at the Constitution and the laws of the people?
There really is not much left of the country that was once: The “UNITED” States of America. We now have the NWO ObamaNation. As a country we could eventually overcome our de facto government problem…”IF” we had one thing again: UNITY. We were GUARENTEED separation of religious belief or none belief , color and any creed. But we were indivisible when it came to our Constitutional laws that protected our freedoms to be different in who we are and what we choose to individually believe. Our differences united us…they did not fractionalize us when it came to the Constitutional law of the people.
This may sound cliché: If we would put OUR countries best interests ahead of our own, before our self-interests, as our founders did, the Republic “for which we stand” would stand once more.
ONLY UNITY has the power to bring back what made us great in the first place: Equality under the Republic and the laws of our personal liberty guaranteed in OUR Constitution. Education is the key.
We have lost what made this country great…WE THE PEOPLE. The hearts of WE THE PEOPLE are our most precious commodity. Will we ever recover them again is the question? Will we ever get the chance to win back what was “given to us paid for with the blood of our Fore Fathers.” This country was a gift of heritage, that we have given away through ignorance of the law and negligence to protect the Constitution. We have lost to a Constitutional De Facto government that masquerades as the CON-unistic Federal government of America… The ObamaNation.
I suffer a broken heart but my resolve and love for the Republic of the United States lives on. If you seek to find what is wrong today in this country…look no further than the chair you are sitting in. We the people broke it…it will take we the people UNITED to fix it.
In other words…it will never happen because government is doing everything it can to keep us splintered and apart. They know the power of a united people and wage a war against it every day.
