Yes it does. But if the parents lose their visa, they need to go back. In this scenario, they either take their kids with them, or probably the government enters them into the foster care system (not sure of this). Either way, she was just playing the victim card. They know all the complications that can arise because of their visa status. But they still decide to make long term plans while here on temporary visas. Hence the consequences.

You are missing my point. I am not saying they don’t deserve it. I am saying, the world doesn’t work based on who deserves what. Wall Street execs deserved to be jailed after 2008. I rest my case.

Dunno why you are downvoted, most of what you said is spot on. Most of US immigration is diversity-based. Even employment-based GCs have an element of diversity in the form of per-country limits. Only investor GCs, and maybe Einstein visas are probably not diversity based. Lot of ignorant comments in the replies that still miss the point that H1B is a temporary permit. So if people choose to have kids here and buy houses, that’s their choice that they made fully aware of the chance of having to leave the country. Playing the victim card after making your choice with all the info available is just silly.

Your reply makes no sense. He is right in saying the green card system is loosely diversity based. That’s why they have per-country limits especially in employment-based GCs. Your response neither provides evidence otherwise, nor is relevant to his point. Just a spiteful comment.

Just because someone deserves something doesn’t mean others have to give it to them. So many other factors beed to be considered.
