Jobs, opportunities and most importantly a better life style,
as the American Dream is described. In
the article of Plans Show Wide Gap Remains on Immigration by Julián Aguilar,
they talk about the resigning of U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison; introducing
legislation as she co-authored that would give legal status to undocumented
minors that intended to server in the military or attending college. With this
being said and done it has allowed roughly about 11 million undocumented people
to register with the federal government with submitting fingerprints, background
checks, and the right to learn English and civics. But with this system also
come with the right of paying taxes and contribute fully and legally to their economy
and eventually earn a path to permanent residency and/or eventual citizenship.
As we all know nothing come easy to us .. so as Kay Hutchison
stressed that her proposal and dubbed the Achieve Act and with co-authored by
U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl. R-Ariz that the system would not create a path to citizenship but would
create a new visa system for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the
country before they were 14 years old and have committed no major crimes! With
this approved applicants would have to meet the requirements of meeting with
Department of Homeland Security every 6 months and would not be eligible for
student loans nor other public assistance programs. These Applicants also must
have English proficiency and knowledge of the U.S. government. Applicants who have been approved for W-1 status will
receive a W-1 visa will have six years to earn a college degree or serve in the
military for four years.
In my personal
opinion this is a good thing for undocumented immigrants that come to this
country to pursue their dreams and try to make a better life. If we think about
it this world would not be who we are if immigrants were not here …. Even with a low
min. wage they work as hard or even more to survive and pursue their dreams as much as a legal citizen!
