Is Obama's New Immigration Deal a blessing or a curse? "Time" magazine wrote an article saying, can Obama's new immigration policy really bring hope to illegal immigrants? The article said that the temporary suspension of deportation law will naturally make illegal immigrants overjoyed. For them, this means taking the first step toward becoming U.S. citizens. Undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children finally have a chance to pursue goals that most Americans take for granted, such as applying for a regular job, traveling freely, and getting a driver's license. And the income from work can help them through college. Have an advanced degree. Those who are stuck in low-end informal jobs because they cannot work legally will be able to look for better jobs. However, there are still many uncertainties about the president's new deal. First, USCIS said: Applications will be considered if the applicant has not been convicted of a felony or significant misdemeanor and does not pose a threat (to national security). But it's unclear what officials mean by "significant" and "threat." So people who have had trouble with the law are unsure whether applying will get them into trouble. Because the immigration office will share the applicant’s information. Human rights groups urge applicants with questions to consult a lawyer, but not everyone can afford one. In addition, the government's policy lasts for two years and has not said whether it will continue. This uncertainty has led to several speculations by illegal immigrants: First, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is considered unfriendly to illegal immigrants, may decide not to extend the program if he wins the election. Second, even if Obama is re-elected, the government may make the same decision. Finally, Washington could end the program early. If so, those applicants would be easy targets for deportation because the government has their fingerprints and personal information. With many expectations and doubts, the Humane Immigrant Rights Alliance of Los Angeles received many inquiries. Common questions include: If the application is rejected, will I be deported? Under what circumstances will an application not be accepted? Some young illegal immigrants whose parents were deported from the United States sneaked into the United States again. They fear applying would put their families at risk of deportation. But despite the risks, many young people decide to apply. They believe the government will not end the program after two years and deport people who have contributed to the U.S. economy. In addition, some states have become hostile to immigrants applying for a stay of deportation. CBS said that on Wednesday, the governor of Arizona signed an executive order instructing state departments not to issue driver's licenses to working immigrants who have obtained work permits through the suspension of deportation. Governor Brewer said: "Federal policy does not recognize the legal status of these immigrants, and I will follow the spirit of current immigration laws and not grant public benefits to these people." According to Obama's new executive order, people who came to the United States as children (16 years old or younger) and have lived in the United States for more than five years, but without legal status, are in school, high school graduates, and honorably discharged persons can apply for withholding of deportation. People who have been convicted of a felony are not eligible to apply for deferred action. Brewer's spokesperson said in an interview: "Brewer's order is intended to alleviate the chaos caused by the suspension of deportation orders. The Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly stated that these people have no legal status. "They can stay in the United States without being deported and prosecuted, but the law does not recognize their legality." The Arizona "Dream Act" coalition said that Brewer's order is intended to bully defenseless young people. Alliance President Dussel said: "They are sad that Brewer still maintains his past stance, violates the spirit of the Dream Act, and goes against young people."
