Commonsense Immigration Reform Research Paper
Presidents Obama’s commonsense immigration reform proposal has four parts. The subject in which caught most of my attention was the way immigrants can earn their citizenship. This proposal provides undocumented immigrants a legal way to earn citizenship. This would allow those hidden in shadows to come out and pay taxes and play by the rules like everyone else. Those living illegally in the U.S. would be responsible for their actions be passing national security and criminal background check, paying taxes and a penalty, also to learn English before earning their citizenship. Which I hope I can be eligible in a couple of years. There is no uncertainty about their ability to become U.S. citizens if criteria met. The proposal will also stop innocent

young people brought to the country by their parents at no fault. Giving them the opportunity to earn citizenship more quickly if they serve the country (military) or pursue higher education. In which I also hope I can have this opportunity.
The pathway to earn citizenship would begin with creating a provisional legal status.
This would require immigrants to come forward and register, submit biometric data, pass criminal background and national security check, also to pay fees and penalties before they will be eligible for a provisional legal status. As for agricultural workers and those who entered as children, would be eligible for the same program. The individual must wait until the existing legal immigration backlogs are cleared before applying for permanent residency (green card). Then intimately, become a U.S. citizenship. Unfortunately, people with provisional legal status will not be eligible for welfare or other federal benefits, including those of subsidies and tax credits under the new health care law.
This proposal would also create strict requirements to qualify for lawful permanent resident status. People applying for green card must pay their taxes, pass additional criminal background and national security checks, register for selective service, and pay additional fees and penalties, also to learn English and U.S. civics. Under the current law, after five years of your received green card you may apply for U.S. citizenship. This is probably what I will be doing in about five years from
now.
The earned citizenship for dreamers is something I really do think many people appreciate. This includes children brought illegally to the U.S. with no fault of their own. This will allow them to earn their citizenship. By going to college or serving the country for at least two years, these children have the opportunity to earn their citizenship. For those who have applied before, but been denied the opportunity, the administrative and judicial review will help. They will have the opportunity to have their case researched to find the reason for the decision of bring revoked or denied.
Citizenship is something some people wish to obtain. Mostly those who have hope of accomplishing dreams and improve their way of living. I can understand the people who have the opportunity to begin fresh and right without having to hide or makeup lies. Earned citizenship is something that has my full support.
