Millions Of Immigrants Eagerly Await The Green Card
The said bill will pave way for legally obtaining US citizenship, which has been pending since last couple of decades.
On the other hand, U.
S successfully approves visa for approximately 2, 26,000 immigrants within a year.
This particular figure is alarming in the present scenario.
Most of the politicians and analysts feel that those who are entering the nation through various means will be immediately "jumping the line" under this proposed legislation for a safer hub in the US.
The history of the US is filled with stories of millions of immigrants who successfully entered the nation through various means.
They are living peacefully but with doubts of uncertainty regarding their future.
Among them, a large number of Mexican citizens are waiting to get green cards.
They crossed the US border illegally long back, when the borders were not strong enough.
They feel that the wait has become too long for them.
Those who applied for a green card many years back are yet to hear from the government.
These applicants have crossed double their age at which they had applied.
There are many immigrant families living without proper documents in the US.
A situation of uncertainty and tension prevails among-st them.
They have pinned all their hopes on the sweeping immigration bill, to successfully get passed in the Senate and in the Conservation House.
They are minutely watching every move of the ruling government's efforts to pass the bill and implement it with immediate effect across the nation.
According to the latest statistical report, as of Nov.
1 last year, there were approximately 4.
4 million people eagerly waiting for the successful issuance of green card to them.
Among them nearly 1.
3 million were from the neighboring nation, Mexico that shares the southern border with the US.
As per the immigration experts, the figure is likely to be much higher in the current year and is expected to increase alarmingly in the forthcoming years.
It is to be remembered that these figures do not include those immigrants who are already in the United States with green card applications pending.
They expect the figure to reach 5.
5 million in the coming years.
The said bill will give golden opportunity to many unauthorized immigrants to obtain legal status and green card in the US.
The sweeping immigration bill is a subject of heated discussions among the politicians and analysts.
They are taking all possible steps to halt the bill under any situation.
They have aired the negative aspects, regarding the loopholes in the bill, openly.
On the other hand, the ruling government is least bothered about the opposition's opinion and views.
Finally, it is the undocumented immigrant who is forced to live with hope.
