Immigration

Help children of immigrant parents living in the country from childhood to manhood, become legal residents and help to make meaningul contribution to society.

Why is this important?

As a Counselor and community organizer I frequently come across children whose parents are either in jail or deported.
These children are left to the mercy of some good samaritan or,if they get in trouble with the law - depending on the findings of the courts, they may become wards of the State. I would love to see a clause added to the immigration laws wherby children who fall under this unfortunate situation get thebenefit of becoming citizensrather than being deported. America is the only home they know,
situation,are given special consideration for citizenship.Most of them are now adults and America is the only home they have.
