Requirement for permanent residency:
"(i) The alien has acquired a degree from an institution of higher education or has been a student in good standing for at least 2 years in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree.
(ii) The alien has served in the Armed Forces of the United States for at least 2 years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge.
(iii) The alien has performed at least 910 hours of volunteer community service in a program of an organization that has been determined to be eligible to receive funds from the Combined Federal Campaign administered by the United States Office of Personnel Management or a program approved by the Secretary of Homeland Security in consultation with the Director of U.S.A. Freedom Corps. "
The "community service" loophole should be dropped, but otherwise this is just the kind of immigrant we DO want.
The temporary conditional status of six years should be shortened.
The kind of immigrant we want is the kind who comes here legally, through the front door, not by breaking down the back door.
Let me restate:
You are missing the fact that they shouldn't even be in the country to get into school in the first place. How about if we ask for proof of citizenship before even enrolling in the school system from the very first day. Not a citizen, no school, deported. End of story.
It is the same with the drivers license for illegals issue. There should be no discussion about the need for a license or issuing a license, because the illegals should not be in the country in the first place to apply for the license.
You do not reward illegal behavior, it only begets more illegal behavior.
