Parts of President Obama’s forthcoming immigration bill has leaked. The bill will bring a big change to immigrants an the country as a whole. Obama’s bill would allow immigrants to apply for a green card after living here fore eight years only if they learn English, American History and Government. There will also be a background check, biometric information and pay fees. Those immigrants that aren’t included are those who have been convicted of a crime or crimes that lead to a sentence of 90 days in prison or year in prison for a criminal conviction. Another important factor of Obama’s bill is that immigrants who are currently facing deportation could apply for a visa. A change in immigration in this country could potentially lead better things for the economy as well as the job market and the treatment of those coming to America. Of course the Republicans have already begun shooting it down, Rubio went as far as calling it “dead on arrival” so we’ll have to see what becomes of it. Read more below.
President Obama is expected to come forth with his final draft of his bill soon. White House spokesman Clark Stevens said, “While the president has made clear he will move forward if Congress fails to act, progress continues to be made and the administration has not prepared a final bill to submit.” Coming from a family that has immigrated to America, I think President Obama’s immigration bill would be great for all parties involved.
