It is time to UPDATE this quaint outdated law which was originally meant to provide green card to those who had lived in the US for a long time.
This law does not make any sense now. Last time it was updated was in 1986 aimed for all immigrant who had established long residence here, i.e, lived in US for a bit more than a decade (since 1972).
It is time to UPDATE it to more recent date now.

Sorry for the repost but, it pains me to see all the fight and bickering even among immigrants over peanuts-progress and bills, when there is such a simple solution to cure all this cruelty/malady of US immigration system.
Remember, green card through registry has been here since 1929 which was meant for those who had lived in US for a long time. Last time it was UPDATED was 1986 by Reagan in 1986 immigration bill and provided green card to those had lived in US since 1972 then (no matter what your status was).
Pass on the word please.
PS: note there are immigrant-haters here as well
