Immigration bill update..
House Republicans took a tentative step toward offering citizenship to some unauthorized immigrants Tuesday, but hit an immediate wall of resistance from the White House on down as Democrats said it wasn't enough.

The dismissive reaction to the GOP proposal to offer eventual citizenship to some immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children underscored the difficulties of finding any compromise in the Republican-led House on the politically explosive issue of immigration.

That left prospects cloudy for one of President Barack Obama's top second-term priorities. Congress is preparing to break for a monthlong summer recess at the end of next week without action in the full House on any immigration legislation, even after the Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill last month to secure the borders and create a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally.

The back-and-forth began hours before the House Judiciary Committee opened a hearing Tuesday afternoon on the question of legal status for immigrants brought here as children. House Republican leaders have embraced offering citizenship to such immigrants, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor is working on a bill toward the goal along with Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

They haven't released their bill yet but that didn't stop Democrats from dismissing it even before the hearing began, saying that any solution that doesn't offer citizenship to all 11 million immigrants here illegally falls short.

Over Twitter, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer slammed "the cruel hypocrisy of the GOP immigration plan: allow some kids to stay but deport their parents."

That got a counterattack from Cantor spokesman Rory Cooper.

"If White House opposes effort to give children path to staying in only country they know, how serious are they about immigration reform?" Cooper responded over Twitter.

In fact, Democrats and immigration advocates pushed hard in past years for legislation offering citizenship to immigrants brought as youths. The so-called DREAM Act passed the House in 2010 when it was controlled by Democrats, but was blocked by Senate Republicans.

But now, with a comprehensive solution like the one passed by the Senate in sight, Democrats and outside activists say they won't settle for anything less.

I paid for the green card before the ELIS method of payment was introduce, I just got into the country last Saturday and I didn't submit the receipt at the POE,and they didn't ask for it too, I want to know if it will delay the issuing of my Green Card and how do I go about submitting the receipt if it will be needed as an evidence of payment.Thanks and regards

You don't need to bother your self with receipt, the receipt is your property and an evidence that you paid.

Thanks. In New Jersey, if you have your Nigeria international driving license you will just do knowledge test(computer base test) which u have to score 40 out of 50 questions. Immediately you will be issued your license.

The process is going to the motor vehicle commission with your green card or international passport,two proof of address(which can be your ssn letter/debit card),naija driver's license,ssn with all this you will be book for your knowledge test.

Which state are you?
