False. Workers on an H1B (which I'm assuming he had as an upgrade from his original F visa) may apply for a green card,
and if one is obtained within 6 years, they can stay
legally.

. Freedom House? Public defenders? To fight the government, you need a
real lawyer, not some hack that graduated from ASU. A
real lawyer is someone who works for a Top-100 lawfirm or is in private practice with several years experience winning difficult cases.
And that kind of a lawyer normally has a big price tag, unless they're working pro bono, which is rare.
If you don't have such a lawyer, then for all practical purposes,
you have no rights.

What? Where did you pull that out of?

Estimate of total legal fees for a set of real lawyers to fight an immigration case like this (assuming, of course, they're not working pro bono).
As if it isn't already obvious, the Constitution is beyond the reach of most Americans as very few can afford the entire BofR.
(Hell, with the number of Americans complaining about the price of fuel, most probably can't even afford
one Amendment!)

I believe there are some liberals (i. e. grownups) here.

You didn't read what I said. I said that if one
cannot afford a true lawyer in a case like this, then he/she has no choice but to seek illegal means of eluding the govt. And in fact, that's what 12 million Americans are already doing
