On tuesday several people met with Barrack Obama to discuss about immigration reform. The presidents told members that he is committed to finding a solution to the stregthen security at the borders while restoring the broken immgration system. As of now the democratic are controlling the white house so Obama has power to make changes. Before his bills were denied such as the Dream Act. It would offer citizenship to illegal children under the age of 16, who lived in America for at least 5 years. There is other requirement such as graduating high school or obtaining a general education development diploma. Even so, only six year conditional status is rewarded then the next phase is attending college or serving in the military for at least two years. Opposing arguements towards this bill is that it would signal to the world that the U.S. is not serious about enforcing its law or its borders. Personally, I think the Dream Act is a brilliant idea and there should be no shame put on America for allowing educated immigrants to be a part of U.S. America is only as good as the people that live here. I rather have a bunch of educated hard working immigrants in America than lazy non working Americans.
