The White House, after multiple closed door sessions with GOP lawmakers, have come up with an immigration scheme doomed to failure from the start. After all the GOP brainstorming they decided to require that undocumented immigrants leave the US and apply for work visas that are good for three years at a cost (filing fees only) of $3500.00. To become a permanent resident the newly documented immigrants would have to pay a $10000.00 penalty on top of the regular filing fees.
Even without the xenophobes in the GOP fighting it, this plan is a non-starter as very few could even afford it.
