  20. Bipartisan proposal • Meant to deal with a serious issue the United States is facing • A large and growing population of undocumented students and workers • This bill would deal with that

  21. It has been changed and defeated several times, but in a nutshell: • Would offer conditional residency (need permanent to gain citizenship) to undocumented individuals who arrived in the US before the age of 15. • Individuals must be between the ages of 12-29 at the time the law goes into effect.

  22. Be of good moral character • Show proof of residency (they have lived here five consecutive years since their arrival) • Have graduated from an American HS, got a GED, or been admitted to college or Tech school.

  23. During this 6 year conditional probation time • Undocumented students must: • A. Graduate from a two-year community college. OR • B. Complete at least two years of a four-year degree. OR • C. Serve two years in the US military

  24. After meeting one of those three conditions, they could apply for permanent residency, which would lead to the possibility of citizenship

  25. Opponents of the bill: • This is amnesty. What is amnesty?
