You have petitioned to have your adult child come to America. but you did so after the date of May 1. 2005. Under this bill. that U.S. citizen loses their right. However. those who are undocumented in the country after May 1 of 2005. they actually get a benefit under the bill. So if you obey the law. follow the rules. do all the right things. you are a U.S. citizen. paid your taxes. maybe even served your country in the Armed Forces. doing everything you should do. you lose your right to claim your relative under the existing law and be part of the backlog. but the person who came in an undocumented fashion over the border. they actually will get a benefit as of January 1. 2007. It seems to me that the legal permanent resident. the U.S. citizen. should have at least the same date as those who have not followed the law and the rules. It is hard to imagine. but it is true.
