Given the id fraud involved to work on the books and the array of federal statutes an illegal has to break...that would get many folks clearences lost. Were they not illegals getting special treatment.
Keeping in mind that I only support this exemption for young adults whose parents brought them here illegally when they were still kids, I figure that in most of these cases their parents committed what ID fraud needed to be done, then with sufficient history here they were able to get the other things without extra illegality on their part.
Often it's not until they're getting ready to graduate high school that they figure out how much their own parents screwed them, because SURPRISE! You're not a citizen of the country you've been in, where you attended primary school from elementary on up in, you can't legally work in the country.
In the end, I think we have two different pictures of what the illegals under this program are like. I remember reading somewhere that something like 30% of the kids that qualify under these programs aren't even bilingual enough to count. Their parents never taught them their native tongue.
I would love to see one of these jokers get a lifestyle poly or try for a sap sar program.
Going by a couple of the cases I remember, it wouldn't be hard at all.
Also, I looked up the statutes and situation a month or so ago. Joining the military is the fastest track to US citizenship available, especially today. We're considered to be in wartime status, so they're actually administering the oath of citizenship upon graduation from boot/basic.
For a young adult who was brought here as a pre-teen by his/her parents and has attended US education and kept their nose clean enough that the US Military is willing to take them? I'm not concerned.
