SUMMARY OF HOUSE AMENDMENT
Under the amendment, a Dream Act applicant who meets the amendment’s requirements becomes a “conditional nonimmigrant.” The Dream Act would allow an individual to obtain this conditional status only if he or she meets all of a set of requirements, including having been brought to the as a child 15 years old or younger, and is currently 29 years old or younger. The Dream Act further limits eligibility for conditional status by specifically excluding anyone who has committed one felony or three misdemeanors or is likely to become a public charge, among other criteria.
While they are in conditional status, Dream Act participants are excluded from receiving government subsidies to participate in the health insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act. They also would be ineligible for Medicaid, Food Stamps and other entitlement programs. Furthermore, they are prohibited from obtaining Pell grants, Federal supplemental educational opportunity grants, and other federal grants. However, they would be eligible for federal work study and student loans as well as social insurance programs to which they have contributed, as this would require them to earn or repay the money they need for their education.
Conditional nonimmigrant status must be terminated if the participant fails to continue to meet the conditions for receiving that status, including having good moral character, keeping a clean criminal record, and staying self-sufficient. If the applicant has joined the military, status must be terminated if the applicant receives a dishonorable or other than honorable discharge. Under the bill, a successful Dream Act applicant receives a conditional status for an initial period of 5 years. After those 5 years, the individual applies for an extension of their conditional status for a second period of 5 years. The Dream Act would allow an individual to obtain the 5-year extension of their conditional status only if he or she has demonstrated good moral character during the 5-year period they have had conditional status; has lived continuously in the United States during the 5 years; and has either earned a degree from an institution of higher education, completed at least two years of post-secondary education in good standing towards a bachelor’s degree, served in the U.S. Armed Forces for at least two years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge.
After 10 years in conditional status, the Dream Act then gives this limited group of individuals the chance to earn lawful permanent resident status, but only if the applicant meets additional standards such as having paid taxes; having demonstrated the ability to read, write, and speak English and demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, principles, and form of government of the United States; having maintained good moral character throughout the 10 years; having lived continuously in the United States throughout the 10 years; and having once more submitted biometric and biographic information and completed security and law-enforcement background checks.
The Dream Act also contains a one-year application deadline. An individual would be required to apply for conditional status within one year of obtaining a high school degree or a GED or the effective date of interim regulations under the Act. The Dream Act places the burden of proof on the applicant. An individual would be required to demonstrate eligibility for the Dream Act by a preponderance of the evidence.
You posted to a TROLL who was subsequently zotted. I posted a comment to you which alerted you to the fact he/she was a TROLL and you throw insults my way???? I must have missed something here....
My post to you was in agreement with you.
I got no faith in the senate, I hope I am wrong.
Sweet!
This is how they plan to get back in power.
The constitutional amendment we really need is one that says that no one who lost their seat in the November election can vote on anything during the lame duck.
“I got no faith in the senate, I hope I am wrong.
I agree with you. I remember reading the assurances from posters on Free Republic that Healthcare Reform could not pass, yet......
Does the zotted knucklehead want to deport the Hungarian refugees as well?
It feels good to see a troll zotted quickly, good riddance.
Can you break this down for us ignorant folks?
How will this go down?
You’re obviously on the wrong site.
Most of those kids, for whom your bleeding heart is bleeding over, HATE America, are more Mexican/Guatamalan/whaterver else in South America, than the residents of those foreign nations are and that goes for the illegal Irish, Chinese, Russian, etc. kids as well.
And just WHY should Americans pay for these criminals to go to college? Why should they get instate tuition, when American citizens from other states have to pay out of state tuition rates and these colleges?
IATZ
I know .. and our guys are wimps. God help us.
Can’t even behave like victors .. AFTER the voters
handed them a huge, historic victory, including the
user’s manual with clear instructions!
Lol! I love happy endings! :)
Standard behavior for a stealth lib. He/she's outing themselves tonight, though, aren't they?
I called this liberal out for what it is, on the first post I saw it make tonight.
