What is your stance on the Dream Act? I've inluded a description posted in Wikipedia which gives agood overview of the Dream Act.
This bill would provide conditional permanent residency to certain illegal aliens of good moral character who graduate from U.S. high schools, arrived in the United States as minors, and lived in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment. If they were to complete two years in the military or two years at a four-year institution of higher learning, they would obtain temporary residency for a six-year period. Within the six-year period, they may qualify for permanent residency if they have "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or has completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States" or have "served in the armed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge".[3] Military enlistment contracts require an eight-year commitment, with active duty commitments typically between four and six years, but as low as two years.[4][5] "Any alien whose permanent resident status is terminated... shall return to the immigration status the alien had immediately prior to receiving conditional permanent resident status under this Act."[6] This bill would have included illegal immigrants as old as 35 years of age.
What are your initial thoughts?
that will be a very good policy from the government because the government can not deport all of the illegal immigrants back to their country. Usually they will become criminal because they don't have high education. Instead of increasing the criminal rate in the US, we just give out the good policy to encourage the better society by giving them a chance to become legal immigrant but they have to follow the rules.
ReplyDeleteThere are many children from different backgrounds who are brought to the US ilegally and raised here without their consent, because they are children.It is sad to imagine that once they become adolescents they can't continue to pursue their dreams if they want to because they are not legal immigrants.Thus, I find the Dream Act to be a warmhearted policy that is fair and just, and most importantly helpful to those ilegal men and women who are passionate about furthering their education.
