Napolitano Defends Deferred Action

7/24/2012

0 Comments

 
Secretary Napolitano is defending Obama’s new  immigration policy of Deferred Action. This policy provides an opportunity for  certain young people to obtain a legal immigration status and a work permit.  Critics say that it’s an amnesty, and rewards folks for going around the  immigration laws. As an immigration attorney, I have witness every day the struggles that folks have to go through to legally immigrate to the United States.  Some believe that all  immigration involves is sending in an application and a fee. Unfortunately, it  is much more involved than just that.


One hardline reality of U.S. immigration law is that, once a  person enters illegally, it is very hard to ever become legal. Further, if you  have lived in the U.S. for more than one year without any immigration status,  and you leave the country, you are barred from returning for TEN years! These  are harsh penalties to give young people who did not have a choice of moving  with their parents to the U.S.


Many people entered as young children or as babies without  inspection by a U.S. border officer. They have been living in the U.S. for  several years, and attending U.S. elementary and secondary schools. Deferred Action gives them an opportunity to continue forward with maybe getting a  college degree or get a job in a field they desire.
