a slight change for illegal immigrants?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6667257.stm
looks like US government has come up with something new to grant better situation for tons of illegal immigrants in US.
but… it doesn’t sound much appealing to me.
why?
i guess i’m more skeptical about this issue.
also, at least from this news article, this planned "Z visa" seems to be helpful only for certain illegal immigrants.
because…. 1) you have to have enough money to pay $5000 of fine as well as visa application fees. 2) you have to return to your country every once in a while (i’m not sure if it’s just once for Z visa and every 2 years for "two-year temporary guest worker visa," or regularly for both of them)
many of the illegal immigrant in US come to the country because their own countries are politically/economically unstable, short of employment, and etc…
i doubt if those immigrants have that much money to be used for fines, fees, and airline tickets (if needed)… many of them have families so have to take care of the famlies as well as themselves. if they do have those money, they wouldn’t probably sneak into the country to seek better employment/life.
i might be wrong.
but even i, who have stayed llegally, have to pay more money for pretty much everything! than other American citizens. (oh except for Tax, haha. i’ve got treaty exemption)
this immigration issue is very difficult and sensitive for many countries in this modern world. Japan must have encountered the hardship/problems already. there might not be the best solution for this issue…. governments will come up with new rules every now and then. immigrants will continue fighting for their right.
what is right?
maybe there is no "right" on this issue…
i’m just wishing "better" for those immigrants (of course not for the BAD ones! like criminals)
