Deferred Action Is The Solution To Immigrants
Some undocumented immigrants are asking what is deferred action all about since it is unattainable for many. While some are able to reap the fruits of this legislation, others are still fighting for what could have been the solution for being illegal immigrants. There are a lot of commotion surrounding this issue and it is important to discuss what is this all about.
According to the provision of this law, young people who were brought to the United States are not to cause a threat to the security of the nation. They have to pass certain criteria so they will not be deported. Key criteria are that they should be under 16 years old when entering the country and they should be under 31 as of June 15, 2012. Lawful presence is given if they passed the screening but lawful status is unattainable.
Much has to be discussed about this particular law. Though a few have already been discussed, major concerns surrounding this legislation and the ideas that people share about this matter will be talked about. Both sides will be discussed to be able to see the whole picture.
The law gives consideration to persons whose not been into deportation proceedings, under proceedings, or even those that have been given final verdict for deportation. If someone is detained already, he can no longer file a case for deferred action. But if he is qualified, he can talk about his case to the detention officer.
Under the law, a person that has a reprieved case has the right to work as his economic situations require. However, he is not exempted from premium tax credits and reduced cost sharing. There is also no guarantee that they can have permanent residence and citizenship under this program. Worse, it can be revoke at anytime.
If a person filed a case while he is in legal age, he will not accumulate unlawful presence. Even if he still has a pending case when he turned 18, he is still not guilty. Otherwise, he will be liable of committing accrued unlawful presence.
Unlawful presence is different from unlawful status. Unlawful presence is when one extends beyond the given period of stay as stated in his visa. If his deferred action is approved, his status of being in unlawful presence is removed but his unlawful status will still remain. That is why he is still subject to all laws of the land regarding illegal immigrants.
Despite of these efforts made by the government, some sectors still question the sincerity of this law. They feel that the government is cooking up something out of this issue. They see that this legislation has a lot of loop holes and is not really geared into helping solve the root of this problem.
This reform has in some ways provided order and a better way to serve its people. It gave undocumented immigrants a sense of relief from imminent deportation. Much has been done to make the deferred action law more comprehensive and furnish better privileges to these undocumented immigrants.
