Refunds for LEGAL Immigrants?

For John, BLUF:  What about the legal immigrants?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From the Instapundit:

IOWAHAWK ON OBAMA’S IMMIGRATION MOVE:  Somewhere a legal immigrant engineer in his 10th year of paperwork and lawyers is on Orbitz shopping for flights back home.

Which leads to an idea for the GOP:  How about legislation to refund the fees to legal immigrants who have applied over the past six years? Dare Obama to veto that. . . .

And yesterday in The [Lowell] Sun Immigration Lawyer and former Democrat Senate and Gubernatorial Candidate Marisa DeFranco made the same point.  Her OpEd is "President's actions an affront to this country's rule of law".

President Obama should consider the millions of people who have followed the legal process and waited outside our borders for the green card numbers to come up.  Some have died, been separated from loved ones, and endured many hardships.  Where is the fairness and justice for them?

As a country, if our chief executive usurps the rule of law for the people who broke the law, our message to the people who obeyed the law is this—you are dupes.  And this message will only encourage more disrespect for our sovereign laws.

So I reached out to my Granddaughter and asked her about her Husband, who is Dutch, but living here in America with a Green Card.

I would say about $1200 between the fees for paperwork, biometrics, appeals, all that…

And for the approval for him to work, which for some reason it seemed nobody was willing to accept as proof of his eligibility to work.

I am looking for the GOP in the House to send forward a bill refunding the fees they and thousands of others have paid.  Maybe refund all but the amount of the fee we will charge illegal immigrants to become regularized.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
