Open Immigration Reform
Preamble:
Whereas, the current immigration system is badly designed and inefficiently managed, and
Whereas, the individual rights of people not born in the United States are not ensured outside of the United States but can be ensured inside the United States, and
Whereas, naturalization should be available for everyone.
Therefore:
Remove the limit of immigrants allowed into the country
There will still be a physical limit to how many immigrants are able to enter the country, due to the amount of funding we give to the immigration offices, but there should not be an arbitrary number that someone makes up in their head.
End the lottery base system and adopt a point or merit-based system
The merit system includes a criminal record examination and a general knowledge examination.
If a criminal record is not found then assume innocent
The examination is a written test on basic (Fifth grade) English and American Civics.
The examination is only for adults (18 and above)
The English test will be based on basic communication, not on books and rhetoric.
The civics test will be based on individual rights and privileges not on names and dates.
If they pass the exam with over 65% grade then they will be handed a working visa while children will receive a student visa
Working visa will have no expiration date
A student visa will automatically be upgraded to a working visa when the student reaches the age of 18
A student who upgrades to a working visa will still be allowed to be enrolled in school.
After eight consecutive years working within the states with a working visa, they will be granted full citizenship.
The working visa can be allowed for employment or receiving a driver's license but cannot be used to purchase alcohol or firearms or vote in federal elections.
If adults fail and they still want to enter the country they will be sent to residential centers called Naturalization Centers.
Parents who fail will be allowed to have their children stay with them or enter the country if they have other family members already living in the states.
The immigrants will be registered in different centers
Family center; where parents and their children will be kept together
Working center; where working-age men and women (18-65 years of age), couples with no children will be in this center.
Orphans center (Under 18); for alone children.
Elderly center (without working-age support) (over 65)
Each center will have adequate housing, food, water, clothes, electricity, and medical care and education for one year for everyone; then they will be allowed re-examination and then granted a working visa.
No one, except the elderly, will be idle and their days will be filled with many activities.
Such activities include mandatory education at residential centers.
(For adults) Education will begin at 9 and end at 3 with one hour (12-1) for lunch and a general break. The first three hours will be English class, the latter two hours will be American civics
(For children) education will be the same as the curriculum for children in the state the camp resides in.
More activities include:
(For adults) after the education schedule, there will be time for learning a skill (3-7 pm)
From the start of this program, the accepted skills that will be taught will be basic culinary, welding, farming, house-cleaning, trash collection and disposal, road and house construction, and plumbing.
Any other new programs have to be approved by the house immigration committee.
Families that had one spouse pass the exam and the other fail can remain together in the appropriate center but the one who failed must follow the schedule for education for re-examination but the one who passed will still receive his or her working visa and be allowed to work in the area around the center.
Naturalization Centers will be spread out across the nation and will in total be able to house five million immigrants in any given year to start so that the country is able to handle a surge in immigration; congress can pass laws to increase total capacity with a simple majority (1/2) but requires a super majority to decrease it (3/4).
