Staff Writer Comprehensive Immigration Reform: This is a possible immigration reform being proposed by the House of Representatives and the Senate that says dreamers, immigrant children that have been brought to the U.S, general public (undocumented), have the right to citizenship. The House of Representatives propose that any Non-Dreamer immigrant goes through the citizenship process and go to “the back of the line.” This means that any Non-Dreamer will wait approximately 26 years to become citizen. Dreamers, on the other hand, will have to go through minimum 2 years of college and wait for 5 years to obtain their citizenship. There are thousands of dreamers across the United States awaiting a possible immigration reform. A former Hubbard student stated “I believe everyone who is undocumented has the same right to be here as those who are legal citizens.” Those who are undocumented are trying to push for an Inclusive Immigration Reform, which unlike the Comprehensive Reform, asks to pardon those who have committed felonies such as D.U.I.s, traffic violations, ect. This Reform wants everyone to have the same chance and not exclude anyone except those who hold a criminal record. Additionally, those who have been deported will be allowed to return to be reunited with their families here in the U.S. Jesus Zepeda, senior, agrees with pushing toward the Inclusive Reform, “Our lives are built here in the land of immigrants and we have the human right to better our lives in an honorable way. Having this reform will not only benefit me but the thousands of dreamers and non-dreamers out there who want to have that better life.” The struggle between The House of Representatives and the Senate will continue for an unknown amount of time, but those who are undocumented are hopeful for a possible immigration reform.
