Baca Sponsors Bill to Restructure Naturalization Process for Exemplary High School Graduates (http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/ca43_baca/proud_112th_010711.html - broken link)
Quote:
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Joe Baca (D-Rialto) introduced legislation to allow motivated immigrant high school graduates to apply for United States citizenship after meeting certain academic requirements, which would replace the naturalization exam, and paying a reduced fee. The People Resolved to Obtain an Understanding of Democracy (PROUD) Act, mandates that any high school graduate who can furnish transcripts proving completion of grades 6 through 12, displays an understanding of United States history, government and civics, and can prove they are of good moral character be allowed to apply for U.S. citizenship.
Just HOW is this fair to those who do things the LEGAL way?
Quote:
The PROUD Act would amend the Immigration Nationality Act to allow exemplary non-citizen high school graduates, who are of age, to apply for citizenship as long as they provide the necessary academic transcripts, proof of essential civic knowledge, and are in good moral standing within the community.
NO mention of legal residency you notice, just pass GO from illegal and collect your "reduced fee" citizenship.
Of course we're aware from the rest of his press release that by "immigrant" he really means "those here illegally".
Bill to Let “Exemplary” Illegal Aliens Become U.S. Citizens
If they were “exemplary” they would also be law-abiding.
Quote:
A United States congressman dedicated to fighting harmful anti-immigrant legislation has introduced a bill to change a decades-old federal law so that “exemplary” illegal aliens can obtain American citizenship.
The measure is called People Resolved to Obtain Understanding of Democracy (PROUD) Act and it was also introduced in the previous congress as part of a larger immigration reform bill.

"DREAM" and "PROUD." LOL I wonder what other little clever ones they can come up with. I know that that isn't adding anything productive to the thread (I need to read more about this proposal), but I find that funny. One thing I do have to ask from what I have read is: and how much is it going to cost to implement this? I mean, they're actually going to be submitting high school transcripts and stuff?
Quote:
And by increasing the number of high-skilled, citizen workers, this legislation can boost our economic recovery by creating additional tax revenue at the local, state, and federal level.
More lies, misleading statements and ignoring of the fact that by adding these "high-skilled" "citizen" workers, there will be less opportunities for those who are legally here and the children of those who are legally here in the future. Why won't these politicians understand this? There is no win-win situation with this. It's just "WIN" for illegal immigrants and that's what keeps this stuff from passing because people know that it is wrong, it just feels wrong. That's not to say that politicians haven't voted on things that were obviously wrong and stabbed U.S. Citizens and legal residents in the back, but this stuff is another one of those things.
