Dream Act Opponents and Supporters Almost Evenly Matched
|
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives permitted by the army on the university or the legalization of illegal immigrant children as a bill this week to deliver the Senate vote. This is called "Dream Act" into law the legislative measures, once implemented, will allow a large number of law-abiding young people without legal residence by soldiers recruited by the higher education and achieve their dream of becoming American citizens.
The bill's full name is "the development of young foreigners, rescue and Education Act." The name of the English words used together, just the English abbreviation "Dream Act" (DREAM ACT) mean. The bill on December 8 by 216 votes in the House of Representatives votes on the 198 narrowly passed, the next day to the Senate for consideration. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has succeeded in the Senate version of his proposal on the agenda, and promised this week to the bill in the Senate to take legislative action.
Dream Act passed the House of Representatives: 16 years ago to the United States, lived at least 5 years in the United States graduating from high school or received General Educational Development diploma and demonstrated good moral character of the illegal immigrants get 6 years of effective temporary residence permits; To converted into a formal residency status, college or the army needs at least two years, and through no criminal record background checks.
"Dream Act" The point is that Obama made during his presidential campaign. Not long ago, Obama also CNN's program, repeated his support for illegal immigrants, which encourages young people to receive higher education legislative action: "We can do it now and I think the important thing is that through the Dream Act . "
Critics oppose the Dream Act say the bill is a backdoor amnesty in disguise, potentially encourage more people to the United States to work in order to one day become legal immigrants. Not only that, based on past experience, administrative departments in promoting favorable immigration policy before the big move will drive the implementation of illegal residents, as it is not amnesty, making illegal immigration is not kept its profit, the first victims.
Although the latest polls show that 54% of Americans support this bill, but because of the few remaining parliamentary session this year, driven by the Democratic Party that is alleged to have intended to try to help illegal immigrants, how the fate of the naturalization bill, there is still suspense .
Almost evenly matched opponents and supporters
Gallup polling organization known U.S. company Dec. 10, according to a nationwide survey, 54% of respondents support the "Dream Act" votes, 42% and 4% were undecided. The survey also showed that non-Hispanic whites and against the bill were evenly divided, 70% of people of color are endorsed on this bill.
Support comprehensive immigration reform, "the Voice of America" organization Deputy Director-General Lin. Terra Monte that the "Dream Act" from the House of Representatives by the Democratic Party to submit to the current Senate majority this year, if put to the vote before the end, will be good time by making dreams come true. She said: "absolutely. We are more than ever, a more favorable position. Now that the House of Representatives has passed this law, we need a few brave Republican senators to vote together with the majority of Democratic senators supported the bill, so that into law. "
Voices against the bill, mainly for two reasons: one is the welfare of illegal immigrants who ﹝ beautiful flowers of which the elderly and children as the most ﹞, legal residents of the reduction of social welfare; the other is the working class for years and keep tax the laws of human unfair. The United States today face the depletion of the Social Security Fund and about the turbulent stock market, especially the middle class people under 50 years old, and now more and more clear after they retire, their benefits have to rely on living a stable life, holding that such ideas of the people, the "Dream Act" aversion can be imagined.
People are not optimistic about the passage of the bill, first of all, the House vote, to promote the bill as much as 40 Democrats voted against it. Given the sensitivity of the immigration issue, Senate Democrats must win the support of Republicans in order to meet the statutory 60 votes to pass the bill, it is quite difficult. Those who oppose the bill, said most Republican senators who called for delaying tactics, the bill can not be put to the vote within the current Congress, which voted to not have to bear the political responsibility. If the bill onto the Republicans dream of the last moment, the Council can not vote on the bill is likely to give up halfway. |
