Give Workers Residency. It will help us ALL.
Give workers a path to residency & citizenship will help us all.
With 9 Good SS #'s, they'll pay trillions into Social Security.
They'll be able to get driver's licenses & so, car insurance.
helping all. They'll get better jobs going to college, so pay more
in taxes. They have no other way to get residency, & they
can't stay home and watch children go hungry. With their
skilled hard work, they've earned this. Ask Congress & president to give them the law they need like 1986. As a
senior, I know we seniors will benefit from their SS deductions
and they will benefit living without fear in united families.
Why is this important?
When the hard-working families who have had to come here
the only way they could have a path to residency and
citizenship as they did in 1986, it will benefit us all. When
my friends and the others have 9 good Social Security
numbers, they'll pay trillions into the Social Security fund.
They are young and hard-working and would gladly pay into
it if they were paid above the table with checks. Also, when
they have residency, they'll be able to get drivers' licenses
so car insurance which helps everyone on the road. They
won't have to risk jail to go to work or to go to an English
class or drive children to school. They cannot get legal
residency on their own. They're depending on us to ask
Congress as we did in 1986. I've spent 54 years teaching,
translating for those whose languages I speak, being friends
with immigrants, and they contribute so much. They deserve
a chance to live without fear. Having a sub-culture of fear
just keeps people from reporting crime they see and helps
no one. I know children with A's in high school who can't
go to college for lack of papers, so they are cutting grass.
We'd receive taxes if they went to college and
had better jobs and legal residency. The present system
helps no one. It's really just prejudice. There are undocumented workers with blond hair and blue eyes, and
they are never stopped and asked for papers. Only those
with darker skin are stopped. We're a better country than
this. They are only here because they'd go hungry if they
didn't come, and they work hard and well and intelligently.
They've earned the right to come out of shadows. We
all sing in church that everyone is a child of God, but we
treat them like they are less than human. Now is the time
that everyone living in the US should be able to work and
drive and go to college. Obama promised
this in 2008. Now's the time to make it come true. I've worked
with immigrants 54 years and seen what they've given
to this country. Now we can help them and ourselves.
