A lot of illegal immigrants are seeing that deferred action is the solution to their problem. While many are granted the rights already, still others are looking for it. On the other hand, many believed that it is blindly enforced. We will look into this law and see what are the implications it brought to individuals involved.
The United States government passed a law that will grant a relief to some people who entered the country illegally as children, but does not pose a threat to national security in anywise. This is the deferred action law. Some requirements are that they are 15 years old before entering the country and are under 31 years of age as of June 15, 2012. The law does not grant individuals with lawful status though.
There are many things to talk about this issue. In fact, some are already been discussed. Major areas of this law will be presented to see the whole spectrum as to the pros and cons of this legislation.
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.
The government made a move on how to resolve the crisis on illegal immigration. Though some individuals are blessed with the rights they acquire thru this law, others felt they are taken for granted by the government. Thus, deferred action has become a big question to them as to what is it really all about since it is very hard to attain for many.
