Core tip: The United States plans to stop deporting illegal immigrants who entered the country as children and will provide work permits. According to reports, this plan will take effect soon and will affect 800,000 people. Illegal immigrants who apply should meet the conditions of entering the United States under the age of 16; living in the United States for at least 5 consecutive years; currently attending school, graduating from high school, or retiring from the U.S. military; having no criminal record; and being under 30 years old.
CNTV News According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation on June 15, the United States will stop deporting illegal immigrants who entered the country as children and will provide work permits.
According to the new plan, illegal immigrants aged 16 to 30 who have lived in the United States for 5 consecutive years will be eligible to reside in the United States. According to reports, this plan will take effect soon and will affect 800,000 people.
This move is seen as an important measure for the ruling party to win over Latin Americans in the election year. With the November election approaching, U.S. President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney are working hard to win over Hispanic voters.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Politano said deportation laws are not "blindly enforced without regard to the actual circumstances of individual cases." She said, "As in other areas, discretion is particularly valid here."
However, this plan does not mean complete amnesty, and eligible applicants may not receive full U.S. citizenship. Illegal immigrants who apply should meet the following conditions:
> Entering the United States under the age of 16; living in the United States for at least 5 consecutive years; currently attending school, graduating from high school, or retiring from the U.S. military; no criminal record; under 30 years old.
If the application is successful, the applicant will receive a 2-year work permit and can extend it an unlimited number of times. President Obama will discuss the plan at the White House later on the 15th.
