There are hundreds of thousands of highly funtioning legal immigrants who have saving money for years, waiting in the immaginary line for their green cards, who would purchase a home immediately if their futures in this country were certain. Change the policy. Give them their cards. Let them buy homes. Our immigrant neighbors are our brothers and sisters in this country. We were all once immigrants from somewhere.

I think you’re right on the money there. I’m from Canada, love living and working in the US .. but I’ve got a 6-year wait ahead of me for that card.
I work in tech, pay my taxes and I’m at the top of my field with 12-years of very strong experience.
I owned a house in Canada at one point and I’d love to (and very able to) buy one here in the US, but I am very leery given the uncertainty around employment.

I hear you. I know at least 50 people (no kidding- at least 50) that want to buy a house in the US and will not do so because of their green card or visa uncertainty. One of them is me.
