Without a doubt the bipartisan bill presented by
Congressman Luis Gutierrez, Democrat of Illinois
and Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona before the
House of Representatives, this well thought out.
It answers the questions of republican
congressmen and senators in assuring them that
an amnesty will not be granted. It would
criminalize the undocumented worker, his
employers and any person who commits fraud in a
job offer case or application to obtain legal
residence. It would grant local Police
Departments to arrest immigrants in violation of
the law, similar to the bill HR 4437.
It would establish a program of temporary
workers, and would offer residence, without
guarantee, for the immigrants who entered the
United States before 1ro of June of the 2006.
This residence would be conditional to the
economic situation of the country in following
the six years. The immigrants, who stay employed
during this period, would qualify to obtain
their permanent residence. But legal status that
would possibly allow you to obtain citizenship
would probably come after 15 years, or during
the decade of the 2020.
Afterwards, hundreds of thousands of
relatives of citizens and residents obtain it
for waiting many years with pending
applications. Although this proposal would
accelerate the granting of residence to those
who have been waiting for many years, it would
impossible that it becomes stable in next the
six years, causing only more delays for new
applicants. The most benefited will be the ones
who started job offer cases and their immediate
relatives, because approximately a million
annual residences in this category are granted.
As you can note, those who have begun their
residence by a job offer, will be first in
obtaining their residency. If you have not
started your case, do not wait any longer.
Remember that there’s always much more to
analyze before formulating a legal strategy..
